Comprehensive genetic dissection of the magnetosome gene island reveals the step-wise assembly of a prokaryotic organelle.

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America - 23 Mar 2010

Abstract excerpt

Although membrane-bounded compartments are commonly considered a unique eukaryotic characteristic, many species of bacteria have organelles. Compartmentalization is well studied in eukaryotes; however, the molecular factors and processes leading to organelle formation in bacteria are poorly understood. We use the magnetosome compartments of magnetotactic bacteria as a model system to investigate organelle...
