Figure 2. The bacterial cytoskeleton: proteins, superstructures and mechanism of function.

Figure 2

Bacterial cytoskeletal elements evolved a variety of superstructures, each adapted to the protein's function in moving (cytomotive) or stabilizing/positioning/recruiting (scaffold) objects within the cell. Connections with weaker evidence are represented as dashed lines.
