This study reveals that MreB filaments in Bacillus subtilis renew their nucleotide state through intrafilament exchange without subunit turnover, linking filament stability to the surrounding nucleotide pool.

The paper identifies key molecular steps in the MreB polymerization cycle through genetic screening and biochemical analysis in Bacillus subtilis.

This study investigates how ATP and ADP binding affects MreB polymerization and membrane interaction in Geobacillus stearothermophilus, revealing distinct binding affinities and membrane fluidizing effects.

This study identifies two distinct mechanisms for rho gene expression during Bacillus subtilis sporulation, showing Rho's role in spore formation and viability.
