A role for topoisomerase III in E scherichia colichromosome segregation
16 Oct 2012
Abstract excerpt
The cellular function of Escherichia coli topoisomerase III remains elusive. We show that rescue of temperature-sensitive mutants in parE and parC (encoding the subunits of the chromosomal decatenase topoisomerase IV) at restrictive temperatures by high-copy suppressors is strictly dependent on topB (encoding topoisomerase III). Double mutants of parEΔtopB and parCΔtopB were barely viable, grew slowly, and were...
