Abstract excerpt
Proper chromosome organization is accomplished through binding of proteins such as condensins that shape the DNA and by modulation of chromosome topology by the action of topoisomerases. We found that the interaction between MukB, the bacterial condensin, and ParC, a subunit of topoisomerase IV, enhanced relaxation of negatively supercoiled DNA and knotting by topoisomerase IV, which are intramolecular DNA...
