• Protein Sequence Analysis Using the MPI Bioinformatics Toolkit (2020, background): “FtsZ and tubulins are GTPases that comprise an N-terminal GTP-binding domain with a highly conserved GGGTG(T/S)G motif associated with GTP binding and a C-terminal regulatory domain (Erickson, 1998).”
• The genome sequence of Schizosaccharomyces pombe (2002, background): “The bacterial FtsA, Hsp70 and FtsZ proteins have structures with similarities respectively to actin and tubulin but only very limited primary sequence similaritie”
• FtsZ in Bacterial Cytokinesis: Cytoskeleton and Force Generator All in One (2010, background): “The subunit above the GTP has three highly conserved amino acids (N207, D209, and D212) that play a critical role in GTP hydrolysis (45, 157, 168).”
