Escherichia colicells contain potential division sites at midcell and adjacent to the cell poles. Selection of the correct division site at midcell is controlled by three proteins: MinC, MinD, and MinE. It has previously been shown (D. Raskin and P. de Boer, Cell 91:685–694, 1997) that MinE-Gfp localizes to the midcell site in an MinD-dependent manner. We use here Gfp-MinD to show that MinD associates with the membrane around the entire periphery of the cell in the absence of the other Min proteins and that MinE is capable of altering the membrane distribution pattern of Gfp-MinD. Studies with the isolated N-terminal and C-terminal MinE domains indicated different roles for the two MinE domains in the redistribution of membrane-associated MinD.
