Deciphering the polymerization cycle of a bacterial actin-like protein
From eukaryotic to bacterial cells, cytoskeletal proteins play critical roles in various aspect of cell physiology, including cell shape and cytokinesis, chromosomes partitioning, and intracellular transport. In bacteria, MreB, an homolog of eukaryotic actin, is part of the “Rod complex”, a group of essential protein that synthesize the cell wall (CW), the extracellular shell that […]
