Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Crescentin (CreS) forms bundled filaments that help to regulate the shape of some bacterial cells, giving them a highly curved shape similar to intermediate filaments in eukaryotic cells. Microfilaments and microtubules have different functions in eukaryotic cells, while titin and ParM are not involved in bacterial cell shape regulation.
