Bacterial cells, including Escherichia coli and Bacillus subtilis, continuously elongate and divide. Although the cell width is maintained during cell cycle, the molecular mechanisms involved in its regulation remain unknown. MreB has been implicated to play a role in maintaining cell width. Several point mutations in mreB that affect cell width have been identified. The MreB protein forms clusters...
Rod shape of bacterial cells such as Escherichia coli is mainly regulated by a supramolecular complex called elongasome including MreB actin. Deletion of the mreB gene in rod‐shaped bacterium E. coli results in round‐shaped cells. RodZ was isolated as a determinant of rod shape in E. coli, Caulobacter crescentus and Bacillus subtilis and it has been shown to be an interaction partner and a regulator...
