Figure 1
Figure 1
A schematic representation of the bacterial cell membrane showing confinement of transmembrane proteins by MreB cytoskeleton (top). Upon destabilization of the MreB cytoskeleton, diffusion of the transmembrane proteins is increased due to release of confinement (bottom). The MreB cytoskeleton organization is short-ranged relative to the actin cytoskeleton in eukaryotic cells. To see this figure in color, go online.
