Constructing Auxin-Inducible Degron Mutants Using an All-in-One Vector
Pharmaceuticals, 2020 Conditional degron-based methods are powerful for studying protein function because a degron-fused protein can be rapidly and efficiently depleted by adding a defined ligand.

Chromosome Organization: Original Condensins [PDF]
Current Biology, 2014 Two new studies reveal the main actors involved in the resolution and segregation of newly replicated origins in bacteria. These results have important implications for our understanding of the mechanisms involved in precisely coordinating chromosome organization, segregation and replication.

Bacterial chromosome segregation by the ParABS system [PDF]
Open Biology, 2020 Proper chromosome segregation during cell division is essential in all domains of life. In the majority of bacterial species, faithful chromosome segregation is mediated by the tripartite ParABS system, consisting of an ATPase protein ParA, a CTPase and ...

MukBEF, a Chromosomal Organizer [PDF]
Microbial Physiology, 2014 Global folding of bacterial chromosome requires the activity of condensins. These highly conserved proteins are involved in various aspects of higher-order chromatin dynamics in a diverse range of organisms. Two distinct superfamilies of condensins have been identified in bacteria.

Cell Reports, 2016 Smc/ScpAB promotes chromosome segregation in prokaryotes, presumably by compacting and resolving nascent sister chromosomes. The underlying mechanisms, however, are poorly understood.

eLife, 2015 Smc–ScpAB forms elongated, annular structures that promote chromosome segregation, presumably by compacting and resolving sister DNA molecules. The mechanistic basis for its action, however, is only poorly understood. Here, we have established a physical

Nuclear Organization and Chromosome Segregation [PDF]
The Plant Cell, 1999 The genetic information underlying plant form and function is contained within the cell nucleus in the form of complex, dynamic DNA–protein structures—the chromosomes. The faithful transmission of these structures during mitosis and meiosis requires extensive chromosome reorganization and ...

Spatial organization of bacterial chromosomes [PDF]
Current Opinion in Microbiology, 2014 Bacterial chromosomes are organized in stereotypical patterns that are faithfully and robustly regenerated in daughter cells. Two distinct spatial patterns were described almost a decade ago in our most tractable model organisms. In recent years, analysis of chromosome organization in a larger and more diverse set of bacteria and a deeper ...

Organization of the bacterial chromosome [PDF]
Microbiological Reviews, 1990 Recent progress in studies on the bacterial chromosome is summarized. Although the greatest amount of information comes from studies on Escherichia coli, reports on studies of many other bacteria are also included. A compilation of the sizes of chromosomal DNAs as determined by pulsed-field electrophoresis is given, as well as a discussion of factors ...

mBio, 2020 Cell division requires proper spatial coordination with the chromosome, which undergoes dynamic changes during chromosome replication and segregation. FtsZ is a bacterial cytoskeletal protein that assembles into the Z-ring, providing a platform to build ...
