Abstract excerpt

Homologs of the XerCD enzymes, which in Escherichia coli have been shown to be responsible for resolving chromosomal multimers prior to chromosome segregation, were identified in the genomes of Staphylococcus aureus and Streptococcus pneumoniae. Phylogenetic and conservation pattern analysis suggests that the S. aureus gene products are orthologs of XerC and D. A S. aureus xerC null mutant displayed in vitro...
