Magnetosomes are cell membrane invaginations organized by the actin-like protein MamK.

Science (New York, N.Y.) - 13 Jan 2006

Komeili Arash, Li Zhuo, Newman Dianne K, Jensen Grant J

Abstract excerpt

Magnetosomes are membranous bacterial organelles sharing many features of eukaryotic organelles. Using electron cryotomography, we found that magnetosomes are invaginations of the cell membrane flanked by a network of cytoskeletal filaments. The filaments appeared to be composed of MamK, a homolo...
