Molecular evolution of FtsZ protein sequences encoded within the genomes of archaea, bacteria, and eukaryota.

The FtsZ protein is a polymer-forming GTPase which drives bacterial cell division and is structurally and functionally related to eukaryotic tubulins. We have searched for FtsZ-related sequences in all freely accessible databases, then used strict criteria based on the tertiary structure of FtsZ and...
