pfam04085: MreC (This model is not part of the current CDD release)
Rod shape-determining protein MreC, barrel core
MreC (murein formation C) is involved in the rod shape determination in E. coli, and more generally in cell shape determination of bacteria whether or not they are rod-shaped. This entry represents the periplasmic core of these proteins which is composed of two six-stranded beta-barrels. MreC self-associates into polar filaments. The periplasmic part of MreC contains also a coiled-coil region which is involved in the formation of dimer essential for its function.
