Abstract
⺠Replicative asymmetry of Caulobacter daughter cells is dictated by CtrA. ⺠Two phosphorelays drive the phosphorylation and proteolytic stabilization of CtrA. ⺠CckA, the kinase for CtrA, must localize to a cell pole for maximal activation. ⺠CckA colocalizes with the phosphatase PleC to avoid downregulation by DivKâ¼P. ⺠Localization of DivJ and PleC to opposite poles helps establish replicative asymmetry.
