ATP-dependent polymerization dynamics of bacterial actin proteins involved in Spiroplasma swimming

ATP-dependent polymerization dynamics of bacterial actin proteins involved in Spiroplasma swimming

MreB is a bacterial protein belonging to the actin superfamily. This protein polymerizes into an antiparallel double-stranded filament that determines cell shape by maintaining cell wall synthesis. Spiroplasma eriocheiris, a helical wall-less bacterium, has five MreB homologous (SpeMreB1-5) that pro...
