Roles for MreC and MreD proteins in helical growth of the cylindrical cell wall in Bacillus subtilis.

Molecular microbiology - 1 Sept 2005

Leaver Mark, Errington Jeff

Abstract excerpt

Actin homologues of the MreB family have an important role in specifying the morphology of many non-spherical eubacteria. The mreC and mreD genes have been implicated in control of cell morphology but their precise functions are unknown. In Bacillus subtilis the MreB homologue Mbl directs helical...
