The nucleoid occlusion factor Noc controls DNA replication initiation in Staphylococcus aureus.

PLoS genetics - 1 Jul 2017

Pang Ting, Wang Xindan, Lim Hoong Chuin, Bernhardt Thomas G, Rudner David Z

Abstract excerpt

Successive division events in the spherically shaped bacterium Staphylococcus aureus are oriented in three alternating perpendicular planes. The mechanisms that underlie this relatively unique pattern of division and coordinate it with chromosome segregation remain largely unknown. Thus far, the only known spatial regulator of division in this organism is the nucleoid occlusion protein Noc that inhibits assembly...
