Cytoskeletal elements are well known to be widespread in eukaryotes and prokaryotes, providing important, diverse functions for cells large and small. Two new studies report that some bacteriophages encode their own tubulin homologs to facilitate phage reproduction within the host cell. Copyright © 2012 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
