A genetic screen unveils key molecular steps in the polymerization cycle of the bacterial actin-like MreB
Key mechanistic steps coordinating ATP-driven MreB polymerization and turnover are established and provide a basis for a complete MreB assembly–disassembly cycle and for further elucidating how MreB dynamics contribute to cell-wall organization.
