The role of Par proteins in the active segregation of the P1 plasmid.

Molecular microbiology - 1 Jul 2004

Li Yongfang, Dabrazhynetskaya Alena, Youngren Brenda, Austin Stuart

Abstract excerpt

The parS centromere-like site promotes active P1 plasmid segregation in the presence of P1 ParA and ParB proteins. At the modest growth rate used here, time-lapse and still photomicroscopy shows that the plasmid copies are clustered as a focus at the Escherichia coli cell centre. Just before cell division, the focus is actively divided and ejects bidirectionally into opposite halves of the dividing cell. In the...
