SMC-based immunity against extrachromosomal DNA elements. [PDF]
Biochem Soc Trans, 2023 SMC and SMC-like complexes promote chromosome folding and genome maintenance in all domains of life. Recently, they were also recognized as factors in cellular immunity against foreign DNA.

Nonrandom segregation of sister chromosomes by <i>Escherichia coli</i> MukBEF. [PDF]
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A, 2021 Significance Circular chromosomes in rod-shaped bacteria exist inside a cell in two distinct configurations, “transverse” and “longitudinal,” relative to the long cell axis, with chromosomal loci occupying specific cellular locations in both cases.

Mid-cell migration of the chromosomal terminus is coupled to origin segregation in Escherichia coli. [PDF]
Nat Commun, 2023 Bacterial chromosomes are dynamically and spatially organised within cells. In slow-growing Escherichia coli, the chromosomal terminus is initially located at the new pole and must therefore migrate to midcell during replication to reproduce the same ...
