A bacteriophage tubulin harnesses dynamic instability to center DNA in infected cells

A bacteriophage tubulin harnesses dynamic instability to center DNA in infected cells

Dynamic instability, polarity, and spatiotemporal organization are hallmarks of the microtubule cytoskeleton that allow formation of complex structures such as the eukaryotic spindle. No similar structure has been identified in prokaryotes. The bacteriophage-encoded tubulin PhuZ is required to posit...
