The division of a bacterial cell into two daughter cells (called binary fission) is accomplished by a protein called FtsZ. FtsZ is very similar to the tubulin subunits that form microtubules in eukaryotes. After the replicated bacterial chromosomes have moved to opposite ends of the cell, a ring of FtsZ proteins forms inside the plasma membrane in the region where the cell will divide. As the FtsZ ring constricts, the plasma membrane and bacterial cell wall fold in and eventually separate into two cells. Division of a bacterial cell into two daughter cells. A chromosome, located mid-cell, replicates. Then two chromosomes pull apart, and a ring of FtsZ protein forms mid-cell. The ring contracts, the membrane and cell wall invaginate. Division is completed after the cells separate. Plant and animal cells also require cytoskeletal proteins for cytokinesis, although the roles these proteins play differ among bacteria, plants, and animals.
