MreB-Dependent Inhibition of Cell Elongation during the Escape from Competence in Bacillus subtilis
During bacterial exponential growth, the morphogenetic actin-like MreB proteins form membrane-associated assemblies that move processively following trajectories perpendicular to the long axis of the cell. Such MreB structures are thought to scaffold and restrict the movement of peptidoglycan synthe...
