Protein Sequence Analysis Using the MPI Bioinformatics Toolkit (2020, background): “…all chloroplasts, and some mitochondria, with the latter two representing endosymbiosis-derived eukaryotic organelles, FtsZ forms filaments that assemble into a ring (Z-ring) at the future site of cell division (Lowe & Amos, 1998; Margolin, 2005; Szwedziak, Wang, Bharat, Tsim, & Lowe, 2014).”
Streptomyces morphogenetics: dissecting differentiation in a filamentous bacterium (2009, background): “In virtually all bacteria, FtsZ assembles into a cytokinetic ring, the Z ring , which defines the site of division and recruits other cell-division protein”
Bacterial cell division: assembly, maintenance and disassembly of the Z ring (2009, background): “FtsZ is almost universally conserved throughout the Bacteria ( Box 1 ); it is also present in the Euryarchaeota and has an active role in the division of the plastids and mitochondria of several groups of the Eukary”
M. tuberculosis and M. leprae translocate from the phagolysosome to the cytosol in myeloid cells. (2007, background): “FtsZ is critical for the cell division process in many prokaryotes, including mycobacteria, and is transiently higher expressed during cytokinesis (Margolin, 2005).”
