Selection for chromosome architecture in bacteria.

Journal of molecular evolution - 1 May 2006

Hendrickson Heather, Lawrence Jeffrey G

Abstract excerpt

Bacterial chromosomes are immense polymers whose faithful replication and segregation are crucial to cell survival. The ability of proteins such as FtsK to move unidirectionally toward the replication terminus, and direct DNA translocation into the appropriate daughter cell during cell division, requires that bacterial genomes maintain an architecture for the orderly replication and segregation of chromosomes. We...
