Self-association of MreC as a regulatory signal in bacterial cell wall elongation
MreC is a membrane-associated protein that modulates the activity of the elongasome, a protein complex that controls cell wall formation in rod-shaped bacteria. Here, the authors use electron cryo-microscopy and X-ray crystallography to determine the structure of a self-associated form of MreC in at...
