The prokaryotic cell division protein FtsZ and eukaryotic tubulin have been shown to have very similar structures and are most likely homologs. The evolutionary transition from FtsZ to tubulin could provide a window into the transition from prokaryotic cells to eukaryotic cells.
原核细胞分裂蛋白FtsZ与真核微管蛋白已被证明具有非常相似的结构，并且极有可能是同源物。从FtsZ到微管蛋白的进化转变可以为从原核细胞到真核细胞的转变提供一个窗口。
