Annotation score:5 out of 5

<p>The annotation score provides a heuristic measure of the annotation content of a UniProtKB entry or proteome. This score <strong>cannot</strong> be used as a measure of the accuracy of the annotation as we cannot define the 'correct annotation' for any given protein.<p><a href='/help/annotation_score' target='_top'>More...</a></p>-Experimental evidence at protein leveli <p>This indicates the type of evidence that supports the existence of the protein.

<p>This section provides any useful information about the protein, mostly biological knowledge.<p><a href='/help/function_section' target='_top'>More...</a></p>Functioni

Forms membrane-associated dynamic filaments that are essential for cell shape determination (PubMed:15612918, PubMed:21903929).

Acts by regulating cell wall synthesis and cell elongation, and thus cell shape (PubMed:21903929).

A feedback loop between cell geometry and MreB localization maintains elongated cell shape by targeting cell wall growth to regions of negative cell wall curvature (PubMed:24550515).

Filaments rotate around the cell circumference in concert with the cell wall synthesis enzymes. The process is driven by the cell wall synthesis machinery and does not depend on MreB polymerization (PubMed:21903929).

Rotation may contribute to the robust maintenance of rod shape (PubMed:21903929).

Requires ATP hydrolysis for polymerization (PubMed:23235161). Polymerization is inhibited by toxins CbtA and CptA, as well as by A22 ([S-(3,4-dichlorobenzyl)isothiourea)] all of which cause cell rounding and eventual death. Inhibition by toxin CbtA is neutralized by cytoskeleton bundling-enhancing protein CbeA, inhibition by toxin CptA is neutralized by antitoxin CptB, while inhibition by A22 can be neutralized by overexpression of CbeA (PubMed:21166897, PubMed:22239607, PubMed:22515815).4 Publications

<p>The checksum is a form of redundancy check that is calculated from the sequence. It is useful for tracking sequence updates.</p> <p>It should be noted that while, in theory, two different sequences could have the same checksum value, the likelihood that this would happen is extremely low.</p> <p>However UniProtKB may contain entries with identical sequences in case of multiple genes (paralogs).</p> <p>The checksum is computed as the sequence 64-bit Cyclic Redundancy Check value (CRC64) using the generator polynomial: x<sup>64</sup> + x<sup>4</sup> + x<sup>3</sup> + x + 1. The algorithm is described in the ISO 3309 standard. </p> <p class="publication">Press W.H., Flannery B.P., Teukolsky S.A. and Vetterling W.T.<br /> <strong>Cyclic redundancy and other checksums</strong><br /> <a href="http://www.nrbook.com/b/bookcpdf.php">Numerical recipes in C 2nd ed., pp896-902, Cambridge University Press (1993)</a>)</p> Checksum:i1393696D8CDAEF93
