## Abstract We have found that FtsH protease of __Escherichia coli__ could degrade __E. coli__ cell division protein FtsZ in an ATP‐ and Zn^2+^‐dependent manner __in vitro__ and that the degradation did not show specificity for the N‐terminus or C‐terminus of FtsZ, like in the case of degradation o
