Coordination of cell division and chromosome segregation by a nucleoid occlusion protein in Bacillus subtilis.

Cell - 25 Jun 2004

Wu Ling Juan, Errington Jeff

Abstract excerpt

A range of genetical and physiological experiments have established that diverse bacterial cells possess a function called nucleoid occlusion, which acts to prevent cell division in the vicinity of the nucleoid. We have identified a specific effector of nucleoid occlusion in Bacillus subtilis, Noc (YyaA), as an inhibitor of division that is also a nonspecific DNA binding protein. Under various conditions in which...
