Assembly of an FtsZ Mutant Deficient in GTPase Activity Has Implications for FtsZ Assembly and the Role of the Z Ring in Cell Division

FtsZ, the ancestral homologue of eukaryotic tubulins, assembles into the Z ring, which is required for cytokinesis in prokaryotic cells. Both FtsZ and tubulin have a GTPase activity associated with polymerization. Interestingly, the ftsZ2 mutant is viable, although the FtsZ2 mutant protein has drama...
