    Phenotypes of a mutant

  • essential [Pubmed|12682299]
  • the mutation can be suppressed by inactivation of ''[gene|A8EEC896B279CFDDE9C3A6F146A04EC822E33A4F|ponA]'', ''[gene|14ED1AF5038F43F3B151FCBABE6CFC5A2DA3AA6E|ptsI]'', ''[gene|E39AFEB7B7F28969A35C4B51CC6E7819F71C79D9|ccpA]'' [Pubmed|19192185], by overexpression of [protein|7150BABA5086D5E2EB8102E4901A216F43576282|GlmR] [Pubmed|21320184], or by addition of 5 mM magnesium to the growth medium [Pubmed|15752190]

    • The protein

    Catalyzed reaction/ biological activity

  • forms straight filaments in a heterologous system [Pubmed|21091501]
  • polymerizes in the presence of millimolar divalent cations, binds and hydrolyzes GTP and ATP [Pubmed|19117023]
  • involved in the organization of 29 DNA replication machinery in peripheral helix-like structures [Pubmed|22420858]
  • required for [protein|321F248C22D7283C0F3323F1F4069E36F8D7FE6C|LytE] activity [Pubmed|23869552]

    • Protein family

  • [SW|FtsA/MreB family] (according to UniProt)

    • Paralogous protein(s)

  • [protein|40829C3632E9DCEB9E1C14A674B4B217F504CFE0|MreBH], [protein|6ED386D49F973C1F6B1076974F54275DD583C9D3|Mbl]

    • Modification

  • acetylated at Lys-240, this is important for restricting cell wall growth and cell diameter [Pubmed|27376153]

    • Structure

  • [PDB|1JCF] (from ''Thermotoga maritima'', 57% identity) [Pubmed|11544518]

    • [SW|Localization]

  • during logarithmic growth, [protein|A4C8719E06F774A6EB4D79757CC79CF89E453A54|MreB] forms discrete patches that move processively along peripheral tracks perpendicular to the cell axis [Pubmed|21636744]
  • forms transverse bands as cells enter the stationary phase [Pubmed|21636744]
  • forms antiparallel double filaments [Pubmed|24843005]
  • close to the inner surface of the cytoplasmic membrane [Pubmed|16950129]
  • reports on helical structures formed by MreB [Pubmed|16950129,20566861] seem to be misinterpretation of data [Pubmed|21636744]
  • normal localization depends on the presence of glucolipids, [protein|A4C8719E06F774A6EB4D79757CC79CF89E453A54|MreB] forms irregular clusters in an ''[gene|7A606B8E952AE8CA4F9A62008BA4B156725BB5B5|ugtP]'' mutant [Pubmed|22362028]
  • during stationary phase: delocalized in the cytoplasm [Pubmed|26091431]
  • during development of [SW|genetic competence]: co-localizes with polar clusters of the late competence protein [protein|41DFEF8A6BC7E34A6681C26D92F2B08DC120A957|ComGA] ([protein|41DFEF8A6BC7E34A6681C26D92F2B08DC120A957|ComGA] sequesters [protein|A4C8719E06F774A6EB4D79757CC79CF89E453A54|MreB]) [Pubmed|26091431]
  • MreB patch speed depends on the growth rate, the faster growth, the higher the patch speed [pubmed|28589952]
