Proteins

In what could be a key step in the rise of multicellular life, cyanobacteria incorporated plasmid DNA into their chromosomal genes, and changed the genes' function. DNA and proteins that once controlled cell division were coopted to control cell shape, perhaps helping link single cells into chains.
