Abstract Bacterial cell shape is generally determined through an interplay between the peptidoglycan wall and cytoplasmic filaments made of polymerized MreB. Indeed, some bacteria (e.g., Mycoplasma ) that lack both a mreB genes consist non-motile cells are spherical or pleomorphic. However, other members same class Mollicutes Spiroplasma , also lacking wall) display helical kink-based motility, which thought to rely on presence five MreB isoforms specific fibril protein. Here, we show...
Abstract In bacteria, cell shape is determined and maintained through a complex interplay between the peptidoglycan wall cytoplasmic filaments made of polymerized MreB. Spiroplasma species, members Mollicutes class, challenge this general understanding because they are characterized by helical motility without wall. This specificity thought to rely on five MreB isoforms specific fibril protein. study, combinations these MreBs from citri were expressed in another Mollicutes, Mycoplasma...
