| - | '''Cell Division Protein FtsZ''' (Ftsz) is the prokaryotic homolog of tubulin. Ftsz assembles into a ring at the site of the septum in bacterial cell division. Ftsz stands for Filamenting Temperature-Sensitive mutant Z. Ftsz can bind GTP and hydrolyze it to GDP<ref>PMID:15558053</ref>. '''Ftsq''' us another septal protein. It is biopic membrane protein which is recruited in cell division site<ref>PMID:9882666</ref>. ''ZapA, ZapB, ZapC, ZapD''' (Z-Associated Protein) are regulators which modulate the dynamics of the FtsZ ring at midcell division site<ref>PMID:21216995</ref>. | + | '''Cell Division Protein FtsZ''' (Ftsz) is the prokaryotic homolog of tubulin.
