Gelation kinetics and viscoelastic properties of MreB filament networks. (A and B) Time-dependent increase in elasticity upon filament assembly of ATP-MreB (A) and GTP-MreB (B). The elastic modulus is measured every 30 s. Symbols in panels A and B correspond to 6 μM (▪), 12 μM (□), 24 μM (•), and 36 μM (○) MreB. The elastic modulus goes through a characteristic maximum at ∼2 min after initiating filament assembly. (C) The maximum elastic modulus is plotted as a function of MreB concentration in the presence of ATP (gray) and GTP (black).
