Mechanisms for Chromosome and Plasmid Segregation
Annual Review of Biochemistry, 2006The fundamental problems in duplicating and transmitting genetic information posed by the geometric and topological features of DNA, combined with its large size, are qualitatively similar for prokaryotic and eukaryotic chromosomes. The evolutionary solutions to these problems reveal common themes.

The role of SUMO in chromosome segregation
Chromosoma, 2006Chromosome segregation is an essential feature of the eukaryotic cell cycle. Efficient chromosome segregation requires the co-ordination of several cellular processes; some of which involve gross rearrangements of the overall structure of the genetic material.

Chromosome segregation and genomic stability
Current Opinion in Genetics & Development, 2004The acquisition of genomic instability is a crucial step in the development of human cancer. Genomic instability has multiple causes of which chromosomal instability (CIN) and microsatellite instability (MIN) have received the most attention. Whereas the connection between a MIN phenotype and cancer is now proven, the argument that CIN causes cancer ...

Ubiquitin, the centrosome, and chromosome segregation
Chromosome Research, 2015For over a century, the abnormal movement or number of centrosomes has been linked with errors of chromosomes distribution in mitosis. While not essential for the formation of the mitotic spindle, the presence and location of centrosomes has a major influence on the manner in which microtubules interact with the kinetochores of replicated sister ...

Chromosome segregation inBacillus subtilis
Folia Microbiologica, 2007Bacillus subtilis, a Gram-positive bacterium commonly found in soil, is an excellent model organism for the study of basic cell processes, such as cell division and cell differentiation, called sporulation. In B. subtilis the essential genetic information is carried on a single circular chromosome, the correct segregation of which is crucial for both ...

Chromosome segregation and cytokinesis in bacteria
Current Opinion in Cell Biology, 1993Substantial progress has recently been made in the understanding of chromosome partitioning and cytokinesis in bacteria. The biochemical properties of some key protein components involved in these processes are beginning to emerge. New evidence supports the recently developed notion that, in prokaryotic cells, basic cell biological processes rely on ...

Plasmid and chromosome segregation in prokaryotes
Trends in Microbiology, 2000Recent major advances in the understanding of prokaryotic DNA segregation have been achieved by using fluorescence microscopy to visualize the localization of cellular components. Plasmids and bacterial chromosomes are partitioned in a highly dynamic fashion, suggesting the presence of a mitotic-like apparatus in prokaryotes.
