Abstract

Microtubules are eukaryotic cytoskeletal filaments that play a crucial role in cell division and intracellular transportation. In recent years, cytoskeletal filaments which share a number of characteristic features with eukaryotic microtubules have been discovered in prokaryotic cells. From cell division to DNA segregation, prokaryotic tubulin-like proteins participate in various functions by forming filamentous structures. A synthetic cell is an artificial lipid bilayer container which encloses a cell free gene-expression system that has at least two main traits of a living cell: the ability of autonomous growth and division.
