Studies of the mechanism of phosphorylation and regulation of FilP – a protein forming an intermediate filament-like cytoskeleton in Streptomyces
Unravelling the Bacterial Cytoskeleton Recent discoveries of several bacterial proteins have led to a general acceptance of the existence of a bacterial cytoskeleton. This cytoskeleton, much like that of eukaryotic cells, is vital for the functionality and wellbeing of Streptomyces, a genus of soil-dwelling bacteria. One such important function is polar growth. This type of growth is directed to
