MukB colocalizes with the oriC region and is required for organization of the two Escherichia coli chromosome arms into separate cell halves.

Molecular microbiology - 1 Sept 2007

Abstract excerpt

The circular Escherichia coli chromosome is organized by bidirectional replication into two equal left and right arms (replichores). Each arm occupies a separate cell half, with the origin of replication (oriC) at mid-cell. E. coli MukBEF belongs to the ubiquitous family of SMC protein complexes that play key roles in chromosome organization and processing. In mukBEF mutants, viability is restricted to low...
