title: Bacterial actins and their diversity.
abstract: For many years, bacteria were considered rather simple organisms, but the dogmatic notion that subcellular organization is a eukaryotic trait has been overthrown for more than a decade. The discovery of homologues of the eukaryotic cytoskeletal proteins actin, tubulin, and intermediate filaments in bacteria has been instrumental in changing this view. Over the past few years, we have gained an incredible level of insight into the diverse family of bacterial actins and their molecular workings. Here we review the functional, biochemical, and structural features of the most well-studied bacterial actins.
