description

These proteins are present in all genomes sequenced so far, from archaea and bacteria to man. So, one can say, that there is no life on earth without this small set of proteins. The genes encoding these proteins are usually essential.

note

[gene|41872E2EF00C79918DD077F2EF78F37E24FEB110|ftsZ] has long been considered to be universally conserved. However, recently some Mycoplasma species lacking [gene|41872E2EF00C79918DD077F2EF78F37E24FEB110|ftsZ] have been found.
