Abstract excerpt
We isolated a mutant allele of dnaX, encoding the tau and gamma subunits of the DNA polymerase III holoenzyme, that causes extreme cell filamentation but does not affect either cell growth or DNA replication.

In these cells, ParC, one subunit of topoisomerase IV, no longer associated with the replication factory, as...
