Roy Burns1

The molecular mechanisms of prokaryotic cell division and eukaryotic mitosis seem to have little in common, yet similarities between the structures of two GTPases published in this week's issue1,2 (pages 199 and 203) will reinforce the need for microbiologists and cell biologists to compare notes. Nogales et al.1 report the 3.
