The nucleotide sequence of a 1.8-kb fragment ofEscherichia coliDNA containing the essential cell division geneftsZis reported. The FtsZ protein has anMrof 40294 and has 23% charged residues with a calculated isoelectric point of 4.9. The codon usage of theftsZgene reflects that of a highly expressed gene. Also located on this DNA fragment is the 3' end of theftsAgene and the 5' end of theenvAgene. These designations were confirmed by locating Tn5insertions within the ends of these genes that inactivate each of these genes. A potential promoter forftsZoverlapped the 3' end of theftsAgene. A Tn5insertion was located within the 3' end of theftsAand within this potential promoter. No transcription terminators were evident betweenftsAandftsZor betweenftsZandenvA.
