RESPOND THOUGHTFULLY TO THIS DISCUSSION POST. The Question: How do the cellular proteins function (and coordinate) to accurately permit cell division? Describe at least one protein and its associated functions to support your answer.

The Person's Cellular proteins vary from being markers to forming rings that precede septation. They must coordinate by being active or inactive at a given time in the cell division process. For example, FtsZ is inactive in the cytoplasm while DNA replication is occurring. If it were active during this time, septation would occur prematurely. FTsZ forms the Z-ring which results in septum forming and thus septation.

Another example would be TipN. This protein marks the site of new poles in new cells and the location of the flagella. If this did not function, it would interfere with the overall shape of the new cells.
