In binary fission,one would expect the involvement of which of the following cytoskeletal proteins?
A)FtsZ
B)MreB
C)plaktin
D)crescentin
E)tubulin

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

FtsZ is a cytoskeletal protein that plays a key role in bacterial cell division through binary fission. It assembles at the mid-cell site and forms a ring-like structure known as the Z-ring, which serves as a scaffold for the assembly of other cell division proteins, leading to the formation of a septum and eventual separation of two daughter cells. MreB plays a role in maintaining cell shape, plaktin is a cytoskeletal protein in eukaryotes and crescentin is a cytoskeletal protein found in some bacteria. Tubulin is a cytoskeletal protein in eukaryotes and is not involved in binary fission in bacteria.
