The actin homologue MreB organizes the bacterial cell membrane.

Nature communications - 7 Mar 2014

Strahl Henrik, Bürmann Frank, Hamoen Leendert W

Abstract excerpt

The eukaryotic cortical actin cytoskeleton creates specific lipid domains, including lipid rafts, which determine the distribution of many membrane proteins. Here we show that the bacterial actin homologue MreB displays a comparable activity. MreB forms membrane-associated filaments that coordinate bacterial cell wall synthesis. We noticed that the MreB cytoskeleton influences fluorescent staining of the...
