Characterization of a prokaryotic SMC protein involved in chromosome partitioning.

Genes & development - 1 May 1998

Britton R A, Lin D C, Grossman A D

Abstract excerpt

smc of Bacillus subtilis encodes a homolog of eukaryotic SMC proteins involved in chromosome condensation, pairing, and partitioning. A null mutation in B. subtilis smc caused a temperature-sensitive-lethal phenotype in rich medium. Under permissive conditions, the mutant had abnormal nucleoids, approximately 10% of the cells were anucleate, and assembly of foci of the chromosome partitioning protein Spo0J was...
