Abstract
Through the characterization of Spiroplasma MreB5, Pande et al. show that MreB5 exhibits a nucleotide-dependent allosteric effect on filament dynamics and membrane binding. The results highlight the conserved and distinct features of MreBs in shape determination, independent of peptidoglycan synthesis machinery.
