Bacterial cytoskeleton: not your run-of-the-mill tubulin.

William Margolin1.   

Abstract

Large plasmids of some Bacillus species encode a distinct tubulin homolog, TubZ, implicated in maintenance of the host plasmid. A recent study has shown that TubZ polymers exhibit treadmilling behavior in vivo, suggesting that they are involved in mitotic activity.
