Partition of P1 plasmids in Escherichia coli mukB chromosomal partition mutants.
Journal of bacteriology - 1 May 1995
Funnell B E, Gagnier L
Abstract excerpt
The partition system of the low-copy-number plasmid/prophage of bacteriophage P1 encodes two proteins, ParA and ParB, and contains a DNA site called parS. ParB and the Escherichia coli protein IHF bind to parS to form the partition complex, in which parS is wrapped around ParB and IHF in a precis...
