Caulobacter requires a dedicated mechanism to initiate chromosome segregation.

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America - 7 Oct 2008

Toro Esteban, Hong Sun-Hae, McAdams Harley H, Shapiro Lucy

Abstract excerpt

Chromosome segregation in bacteria is rapid and directed, but the mechanisms responsible for this movement are still unclear. We show that Caulobacter crescentus makes use of and requires a dedicated mechanism to initiate chromosome segregation. Caulobacter has a single circular chromosome whose origin of replication is positioned at one cell pole. Upon initiation of replication, an 8-kb region of the chromosome...
