The Bacterial Cytoskeleton based on Bacterial Translation Elongation Factor EF-Tu: Novel Insights

Bacteria possess an EF-Tu-based cytoskeleton.This article presents a short review. A number of questions which are not discussed in the former publications can be asked, such as: all bacteria ribosomal protein synthesis system and, hence, also EF-Tu. EF-Tu is produced amount that higher than need for function as translation elogation factor ribsomal synthesis. This tries to answer question regarding surplus EF-Tu: formation "cell-wide web" by self-assembly feafure stabilizes cell integrity. An additional asked: what origin this bacterial cytoskeleton? contains speculation on topic. third regards the'ntteructjon ribosomes process protemsynthesis: does move ribosome, or ribosome intergated fibril The publication depicts electron micrographs show colocalizatton botth entities. example aprotein with two independent functions: participation kanslation elongation factor, and component cytoskeleton. situation open up discussion ofthe sequence events states early cells during evolution.
