| Type: | Domain | Name: | Tubulin/FtsZ, GTPase domain |
| Description: | This entry represents a GTPase domain found in all tubulin chains, such as tubulin alpha, beta and gamma chains, and some bacterial FtsZ proteins []. These proteins are involved in polymer formation. Tubulin is the major component of microtubules, while FtsZ is the polymer-forming proteinof bacterial cell division, it is part of a ring in the middle of the dividing cell that is required for constriction of cell membrane andcell envelope to yield two daughter cells [, ]. FtsZ and tubulin are GTPases, this entry is the GTPase domain. FtsZ can polymerise into tubes, sheets, and rings invitro and isubiquitous in bacteria and archaea. | Short Name: | Tubulin_FtsZ_GTPase |
