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

The actin-like protein MreB coordinates the synthesis of the cell wall, which determines cell shape in bacteria. Here, Bratton et al. show that the transmembrane protein RodZ modulates MreB polymer number and curvature preference, contributing to the cylindrical uniform shape of E. coli cells.
