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.

It is concluded that surface-mediated polymerization can outpace solution-mediated elongation, even at high actin concentrations (>100 μM); the finite time required for profilin dissociation decreases the advantage conferred by surface-associated polymerases, but only in the absence of force.

The Arp2/3 (Actin-Related Protein 2/3) complex nucleates branched actin networks, while myosin motors generate force and reorganize actin through ATP-dependent motor activity. Their coordination is central to membrane remodeling, but the underlying mechanisms differ substantially among cellular processes and organisms....
By directly linking Mg2+-dependent structural compaction to microsecond-scale dynamics, this work reveals fundamental physical principles governing the behavior of recombination intermediates at the single-molecule level.

A comparative perspective uncovers shared design principles that may also apply to axons and offers a conceptual framework for dissecting the molecular basis of MPS nucleation, assembly, and long‐term stability.

The findings uncover a novel product-inhibition mechanism that limits INF2 function and offer important insight into disease mechanisms linked to actin dysregulation.
