Abstract excerpt
The incC and korB genes of IncP-1 plasmid RK2 encode homologues of ubiquitous ParA and ParB partitioning proteins of bacterial plasmids and chromosomes. Using immunofluorescence microscopy, we found that KorB, which binds to 12 widely distributed sites on the genome, is located in symmetrically placed foci in cells containing IncP-1 plasmids. When maintained by the low-copy-number P7 replicon, an RK2 segment...
