- Localization:
- during logarithmic growth, MreBH forms discrete patches thst move processively along peripheral tracks perpendicular to the cell axis PubMed
- forms transverse bands as cells enter the stationary phase PubMed
- close to the inner surface of the cytoplasmic membrane PubMed
- reports on helical structures formed by MreBH PubMed seem to be misinterpretation of data PubMed
- normal localization depends on the presence of glucolipids, MreB forms irregular clusters in an ugtP mutant PubMed
