Segregation of prokaryotic magnetosomes organelles is driven by treadmilling of a dynamic actin-like MamK filament
BACKGROUND: The navigation of magnetotactic bacteria relies on specific intracellular organelles, the magnetosomes, which are membrane-enclosed crystals of magnetite aligned into a linear chain. The magnetosome chain acts as a cellular compass, aligning the cells in the geomagnetic field in order to...
