FtsK actively segregates sister chromosomes in Escherichia coli.

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America - 2 Jul 2013

Stouf Mathieu, Meile Jean-Christophe, Cornet François

Abstract excerpt

Bacteria use the replication origin-to-terminus polarity of their circular chromosomes to control DNA transactions during the cell cycle. Segregation starts by active migration of the region of origin followed by progressive movement of the rest of the chromosomes. The last steps of segregation have been studied extensively in the case of dimeric sister chromosomes and when chromosome organization is impaired by...
