A protein complex that catalyzes peptidoglycan biosynthesis and is thereby involved in maintaining cell shape
Contents
Complex members
- cell wall biosynthetic enzymes at the outer side of the membrane: penicillin-binding proteins (PbpA, PbpH, perhaps also PbpC, DacC, PbpI)
- transmembrane proteins: MreC, MreD, RodA, RodZ, they couple the cytosolic actin-like proteins to the extracellular peptidoglycan-synthesizing machinery
- actin-like proteins at the inner surface of the membrane: MreB, MreBH, Mbl, the polymers control/restrict the mobility of the cell wall elongation enzyme complex
