MreB polymers and curvature localization are enhanced by RodZ and predict E. coli's cylindrical uniformity

The actin-like protein MreB has been proposed to coordinate the synthesis of the cell wall to determine cell shape in bacteria. MreB is preferentially localized to areas of the cell with specific curved geometries, avoiding the cell poles. It remains unclear whether MreB’s curvature preference is re...
