Abstract excerpt
Bacterial ATPases belonging to the ParA family assure partition of their replicons by forming dynamic assemblies which move replicon copies into the new cell-halves. The mechanism underlying partition is not understood for the Walker-box ATPase class, which includes most plasmid and all chromosomal ParAs. The ATPases studied both polymerize and interact with non-specific DNA in an ATP-dependent manner. Previous...
