Can a Cell Live without a Cytoskeleton?

"In one simple experiment, a nucleus was removed from an amoeba.  The amoeba stopped dividing and died within a few days.  But, if a new nucleus was implanted, the single celled animal lived and divided normally.  This early experiment let researchers know that the nucleus was essential for life of the cell, and for cell division.  In fact, such experimental findings underlie the fields of cell biology, genetics and molecular biology, (Cram, 1999)".

the quote is fromrom: Cram, E. (1999, January 7). How exactly does the nucleus of a cell control everything? Message posted to MadSci Network: Cell Biology: http://www.madsci.org/posts/archives/jan99/915809827.Cb.r.html


Question: If the nucleus is removed, obviously the cell will die. It seems that the cell could do without the cytoskeleton, however, and keep living. Is this true?
