Material
FtsZ is a bacterial cytoskeletal protein that is essential for cell division many prokaryotes. It has been shown to be a bacterial homolog of eukaryotic tubulin, based both on a low sequence identity and a striking structural similarity. Just like eukaryotic tubulin, FtsZ polymerizes as well as binds and hydrolyzes GTP in a polymerization dependent manner.
Streptococcus pneumoniae FtsZ protein has been purified after over-expression in E.coli. S.p. FtsZ has a 6xHis tag and an approximate molecular weight of 45 kDa. FTZ03 is provided as a lyophilized protein with buffer and stabilizers.
