This entry represents the periplasmic core of these proteins which is composed of two six-stranded beta-barrels [1,2]. MreC self-associates into polar filaments [1]. The periplasmic part of MreC contains also a coiled-coil region which is involved in the formation of dimer essential for its function [3].
