摘要

Directing proteins to specific sub-cellular addresses is a central problem in cell biology. Historically, perhaps because of their general lack of compartmentalized or-ganelles, bacteria were viewed as relatively uniform at the subcellular level. However, with advances in fluorescence microscopy came the realization that bacteria, like their eukaryotic counterparts, segregate their proteins to different cellular regions . Recent studies have extended this principle by demonstrating that bacteria not only localize intracellular proteins to distinct regions of the cell, but that within these regions they can also organize proteins into discrete ordered structures. For example, the actin homologs MreB and Mbl form spirals along the long axis of Bacillus subtilis, and the cytokinetic tubulin homolog FtsZ localizes to a ring that goes through a spiral intermediate to reposition itself during B. subtilis sporula-tion. The work of Shih et al. in this issue of PNAS demonstrates that the ability of intracellular proteins to organize into ordered structures is not exclusive to bacterial cytoskeletal elements. The authors make the exciting observation that proteins that were once thought to diffusely oscillate between the cell poles are in fact present in ordered spirals.
