A magnesium-dependent mreB null mutant: implications for the role of mreB in Bacillus subtilis.

Molecular microbiology - 1 Mar 2005

Formstone Alex, Errington Jeffery

Abstract excerpt

MreB shares a common prokaryotic ancestor with actin and is present in almost all rod-shaped bacteria. MreB proteins have been implicated in a range of important cell processes, including cell morphogenesis, chromosome segregation and cell polarity. The mreB gene frequently lies at the beginning of a cluster of genes, immediately upstream of the conserved mreC and mreD genes. RNA analysis showed that in Bacillus...
