Abstract excerpt
Members of the SMC (structural maintenance of chromosomes) protein family play a central role in higher-order chromosome dynamics from bacteria to humans. So far, studies of bacterial SMC proteins have focused only on unicellular rod-shaped organisms that divide by binary fission. The conversion of multigenomic aerial hyphae of the mycelial organism Streptomyces coelicolor into chains of unigenomic spores...
