MreB-Dependent Inhibition of Cell Elongation during the Escape from Competence in

English version České info

In bacterial cells, like in their eukaryotic counterparts, precise spatiotemporal localization of proteins is critical for their cellular function. This study shows that the expression and the localization of the bacterial actin-like MreB protein are growth phase-dependent. During exponential growth, we previously showed that MreB, together with other morphogenetic factors, forms discrete assemblies that move in a directed manner along peripheral tracks. Here, we demonstrate that in cells that develop genetic competence during stationary phase, transcription of mreB is specifically activated and MreB relocalizes to the cell poles. Our findings suggest a model in which MreB sequestration by the late competence protein ComGA prevents cell elongation during the escape from competence.
