Abstract excerpt
The P1 ParA protein is an ATPase that recognizes the parA promoter region where it acts to autoregulate the P1 parA-parB operon. The ParB protein is essential for plasmid partition and recognizes the cis-acting partition site parS. The regulatory role of ParA is also essential because a controlled level of ParB protein is critical for partition. However, we show that this regulatory activity is not the only role...
