Editing Cytoskeleton (section)

===Crescentin===
The bacterium ''[[Caulobacter crescentus]]'' contains a third protein, [[crescentin]], that is related to the intermediate filaments of eukaryotic cells. Crescentin is also involved in maintaining cell shape, such as helical and [[vibrio]]id forms of bacteria, but the mechanism by which it does this is currently unclear.<ref>{{cite journal | vauthors = Ausmees N, Kuhn JR, Jacobs-Wagner C | title = The bacterial cytoskeleton: an intermediate filament-like function in cell shape | journal = Cell | volume = 115 | issue = 6 | pages = 705–13 | date = December 2003 | pmid = 14675535 | doi = 10.1016/S0092-8674(03)00935-8 | s2cid = 14459851 | doi-access = free }}</ref> Additionally, curvature could be described by the displacement of crescentic filaments, after the disruption of peptidoglycan synthesis.<ref>{{Cite journal|title=Dynamics of the Bacterial Intermediate Filament Crescentin In Vitro and In Vivo|last=Esue|first=Osigwe|date=January 2010|journal=PLOS ONE|volume=5|issue=1|pages=e8855|pmid=20140233|doi=10.1371/journal.pone.0008855|pmc=2816638|bibcode=2010PLoSO...5.8855E|doi-access=free}}</ref>
