GTPase Activity, Structure, and Mechanical Properties of Filaments Assembled from Bacterial Cytoskeleton Protein MreB

MreB, a major component of the recently discovered bacterial cytoskeleton, displays a structure homologous to its eukaryotic counterpart actin. Here, we study the assembly and mechanical properties of Thermotoga maritima MreB in the presence of different nucleotides in vitro. We found that GTP, not...
