Anucleate and titan cell phenotypes caused by insertional inactivation of the structural maintenance of chromosomes (smc) gene in the archaeon Methanococcus voltae.

Molecular microbiology - 1 Jun 2004

Long Steven W, Faguy David M

Abstract excerpt

SMC (structural maintenance of chromosomes) proteins are highly conserved and present in eukaryotes, bacteria and archaea. They function in chromosome condensation and segregation and in DNA repair. Using an insertion vector containing the pac gene for resistance to puromycin, we have created an insertion in the smc gene of Methanococcus voltae. We used epifluorescence microscopy to examine the cell and nucleoid...
