Mutations in cell elongation genes mreB, mrdA and mrdB suppress the shape defect of RodZ-deficient cells
RodZ interacts with MreB and both factors are required to maintain the rod shape of Escherichia coli. The assembly of MreB into filaments regulates the subcellular arrangement of a group of enzymes that synthesizes the peptidoglycan (PG) layer. However, it is still unknown how polymerization of MreB...
