Structural maintenance of chromosomes protein of Bacillus subtilis affects supercoiling in vivo.

Journal of bacteriology - 1 Oct 2002

Lindow Janet C, Britton Robert A, Grossman Alan D

Abstract excerpt

Structural maintenance of chromosomes (SMC) proteins are found in nearly all organisms. Members of this protein family are involved in chromosome condensation and sister chromatid cohesion. Bacillus subtilis SMC protein (BsSMC) plays a role in chromosome organization and partitioning. To better understand the function of BsSMC, we studied the effects of an smc null mutation on DNA supercoiling in vivo. We found...
