The ParB protein of Streptomyces coelicolor A3(2) recognizes a cluster of parS sequences within the origin‐proximal region of the linear chromosome
1 Sept 2002
Abstract excerpt
The mycelial prokaryote Streptomyces coelicolor A3(2) possesses a large linear chromosome (8.67 Mb) with a centrally located origin of replication (oriC). Recently, chromosome partitioning genes (parA and parB) and putative ParB binding sites (parS sequences) were identified in its genome. The S. coelicolor chromosome contains more parS sequences than any other bacterial chromosome characterized so far. Twenty of...
