Journal ArticleDOI
Control of Cell Shape in Bacteria: Helical, Actin-like Filaments in Bacillus subtilis
TL;DR: The distribution of the proteins in different species of bacteria, and the similarity of their sequence to eukaryotic actins, suggest that the MreB-like proteins have a cytoskeletal, actin-like role in bacterial cell morphogenesis.
Journal ArticleDOI
Processive Movement of MreB-Associated Cell Wall Biosynthetic Complexes in Bacteria
Julia Dominguez-Escobar,Arnaud Chastanet,Arnaud Chastanet,Alvaro H. Crevenna,Vincent Fromion,Roland Wedlich-Söldner,Rut Carballido-López,Rut Carballido-López +7 more
TL;DR: This work used total internal reflection fluorescence microscopy to visualize the dynamic relation between MreB isoforms and cell wall synthesis in live Bacillus subtilis cells and found patch motility was largely powered bycell wall synthesis, and M reB polymers restricted diffusion of patch components in the membrane and oriented patch motion.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Bacterial Actin-Like Cytoskeleton
TL;DR: The dynamic prokaryotic actin-like cytoskeleton is thought to serve as a central organizer for the targeting and accurate positioning of proteins and nucleoprotein complexes, thereby (and by analogy to the eukaryotic cytos skeleton) spatially and temporally controlling macromolecular trafficking in bacterial cells.
Journal ArticleDOI
Actin Homolog MreBH Governs Cell Morphogenesis by Localization of the Cell Wall Hydrolase LytE
Rut Carballido-López,Rut Carballido-López,Alex Formstone,Ying Li,S. Dusko Ehrlich,Philippe Noirot,Jeff Errington,Jeff Errington +7 more
TL;DR: It is proposed that controlled elongation of rod-shaped B. subtilis depends on the coordination of cell wall synthesis and hydrolysis in helical tracts defined by MreB proteins, and that physical interactions with intracellular actin bundles can influence the later localization pattern of extracellular effectors.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Bacterial Cytoskeleton: In Vivo Dynamics of the Actin-like Protein Mbl of Bacillus subtilis
TL;DR: Fluorescence recovery after photobleaching (FRAP) analysis showed that the helical cables formed by Mbl are continuously remodeled during cell elongation, which has important implications for the nature of bacterial cell wall architecture and synthesis.
