Phylogenetic origin and sequence features of MreB from the wall-less swimming bacteria Spiroplasma.

Biochemical and biophysical research communications - 17 Dec 2020

Takahashi Daichi, Fujiwara Ikuko, Miyata Makoto

Abstract excerpt

Spiroplasma are wall-less bacteria which belong to the phylum Tenericutes that evolved from Firmicutes including Bacillus subtilis. Spiroplasma swim by a mechanism unrelated to widespread bacterial motilities, such as flagellar motility, and caused by helicity switching with kinks traveling along the helical cell body. The swimming force is likely generated by five classes of bacterial actin homolog MreBs (SMreBs...
