Organisation of MreB protein protofilaments in Gram-positive bacteria

MreB protofilament in bacteria observed by electron microscopy

First observation by electron microscopy of pairs of organised protofilaments and first three-dimensional structure of the bacterial homologue of MreB actin from a Gram-positive bacterium Research into eukaryotic actin has historically focused on elucidating structure-function relationships from in vitro studies. However, purification of the prokaryotic actin MreB has proved particularly difficult, thwarting efforts to carry […]
