RodZ是确定杆状细菌（例如大肠杆菌）中细胞形状所必需的。RodZ是跨膜蛋白，与其他蛋白质（例如MreB-肌动蛋白和肽聚糖合成酶（例如PBP2））形成称为Rod复合物的超分子复合物。rodZ基因的缺失将细胞形状从杆状变为圆形或卵形。

Here we discover a morphogenic protein, RodZ, which is widely conserved across the bacterial kingdom. In Caulobacter crescentus, RodZ is essential for viability and is involved in all aspects of this organism's complex morphology. Depletion or over-production of RodZ results in grossly misshapen cells with stalk defects.

RodZ is required for determination of cell shape in rod-shaped bacterium, such as Escherichia coli. RodZ is a transmembrane protein and forms a supramolecular complex called the Rod complex with other proteins, such as MreB-actin and peptidoglycan ...

RodZ is a transmembrane protein and forms a supramolecular complex called the Rod complex with other proteins, such as MreB-actin and peptidoglycan synthesis enzymes (for e.g., PBP2). Deletion of the rodZ gene changes the cell shape from rod to round or ovoid.

2009年2月4日 · Three different laboratories have now identified a new morphogenetic factor widely conserved in bacteria. The protein, RodZ, is required for assembly of the actin cytoskeleton MreB that controls cell wall synthesis and cell shape. It is not yet understood how bacteria determine their shape.

2018年3月29日 · 在这里，我们证明膜蛋白RodZ调节MreB的生物物理特性，并改变大肠杆菌细胞壁生长的空间组织。 MreB和RodZ的相对表达水平以与生长速率和细胞宽度变化相对应的方式变化，并且RodZ以浓度依赖的方式系统性地改变MreB和细胞宽度的基于曲率的定位。

2009年1月1日 · Here we discover a morphogenic protein, RodZ, which is widely conserved across the bacterial kingdom. In Caulobacter crescentus, RodZ is essential for viability and is involved in all aspects of this organism's complex morphology. Depletion or over-production of RodZ results in grossly misshapen cells with stalk defects.

2010年8月1日 · RodZ (YfgA) is a membrane protein well conserved among bacterial species and important in the determination of cell shape and motility, although the molecular mechanism involved is not well established. We have characterized a Δ rodZ mutant and show that defective peptidoglycan synthesis might be the primary effect of the deletion.
