FIG. 1.

Similarity of the three S. coelicolor MreB homologues. The MreB homologues of S. coelicolor and B. subtilis were compared by ClustalW sequence alignment (A) and homology modeling (B) using MreB of Thermotoga maritima as a template. MreB and Mbl are highly similar to the B. subtilis MreB homologues and have an identical structure; SCO6166 lacks subdomains IB and IIB (arrows). The colors in the superposition (lower right panel) correspond to the colors chosen for the individual homology models. MreB is given in blue, Mbl in green, and SCO6166 in red.
