Distinct cytoskeletal proteins define zones of enhanced cell wall synthesis in Helicobacter pylori

Distinct cytoskeletal proteins define zones of enhanced cell wall synthesis in Helicobacter pylori

Helical cell shape is necessary for efficient stomach colonization by Helicobacter pylori, but the molecular mechanisms for generating helical shape remain unclear. The helical centerline pitch and radius of wild-type H. pylori cells dictate surface curvatures of considerably higher positive and neg...
