Escherichia coli condensin MukB stimulates topoisomerase IV activity by a direct physical interaction [PDF]

open access: yesProceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2010
In contrast to the current state of knowledge in the field of eukaryotic chromosome segregation, relatively little is known about the mechanisms coordinating the appropriate segregation of bacterial chromosomes. In Escherichia coli , the MukB/E/F complex and topoisomerase IV (Topo IV) are both crucial players in ...

Using Fluorescence Recovery After Photobleaching (FRAP) to study dynamics of the Structural Maintenance of Chromosome (SMC) complex in vivo [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
The SMC complex, MukBEF, is important for chromosome organization and segregation in Escherichia coli. Fluorescently tagged MukBEF forms distinct spots (or 'foci') in the cell, where it is thought to carry out most of its chromosome associated activities.

Dynamic nature of SecA and its associated proteins in Escherichia coli.

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2015
Mechanical properties such as physical constraint and pushing of chromosomes are thought to be important for chromosome segregation in Escherichia coli and it could be mediated by a hypothetical molecular tether.

Prices and Portfolio Choices in Financial Markets: Theory, Econometrics, Experiments [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
Many tests of asset-pricing models address only the pricing predictions, but these pricing predictions rest on portfolio choice predictions that seem obviously wrong.

Structural basis for the MukB‐topoisomerase IV interaction and its functional implications in vivo [PDF]

open access: yesThe EMBO Journal, 2013
Chromosome partitioning in Escherichia coli is assisted by two interacting proteins, topoisomerase (topo) IV and MukB. MukB stimulates the relaxation of negative supercoils by topo IV; to understand the mechanism of their action and to define this functional interplay, we determined the crystal structure of a minimal MukB-topo IV complex to 2.3 Å ...

Tuned SMC Arms Drive Chromosomal Loading of Prokaryotic Condensin. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
SMC proteins support vital cellular processes in all domains of life by organizing chromosomal DNA. They are composed of ATPase "head" and "hinge" dimerization domains and a connecting coiled-coil "arm." Binding to a kleisin subunit creates a closed ...

Escherichia coli CrfC Protein, a Nucleoid Partition Factor, Localizes to Nucleoid Poles via the Activities of Specific Nucleoid-Associated Proteins

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2019
The Escherichia coli CrfC protein is an important regulator of nucleoid positioning and equipartition. Previously we revealed that CrfC homo-oligomers bind the clamp, a DNA-binding subunit of the DNA polymerase III holoenzyme, promoting colocalization of

Global dissemination of a multidrug resistant Escherichia coli clone. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Escherichia coli sequence type 131 (ST131) is a globally disseminated, multidrug resistant (MDR) clone responsible for a high proportion of urinary tract and bloodstream infections. The rapid emergence and successful spread of E.

The Localization and Action of Topoisomerase IV in Escherichia coli Chromosome Segregation Is Coordinated by the SMC Complex, MukBEF

open access: yesCell Reports, 2015
The type II topoisomerase TopoIV, which has an essential role in Escherichia coli chromosome decatenation, interacts with MukBEF, an SMC (structural maintenance of chromosomes) complex that acts in chromosome segregation.

Specialized interfaces of Smc5/6 control hinge stability and DNA association [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
The Structural Maintenance of Chromosomes (SMC) complexes: cohesin, condensin and Smc5/6 are involved in the organization of higher-order chromosome structure—which is essential for accurate chromosome duplication and segregation.
