Role of MukBEF in Escherichia coli chromosome organization
- Abstract:
-
In E. coli cells, spatial chromosome organization reflects the genetic map, with the origin located at mid-cell and left and right replichores in either cell half. In contrast to the eukaryotic cell cycle, chromosome segregation occurs progressively as replication proceeds. The highly conserved SMC complex, MukBEF, plays a central role in chromosome organization and segregation, with null mutants having temperature sensitive growth and mispositioned chromosomal regions. However, d...
