Interactions of Smc-ScpAB with the Bacillus subtilis chromosome [PDF]
, 2016 Every living organism relies on cell division for survival, which requires proper chromosomal organization and segregation. The SMC family of proteins is highly conserved in all branches of life and is known to play an important role in these processes ...

The role and dynamics of DNA catenation in sister chromatid cohesion [PDF]
Cohesion is the fundamental activity that tethers eukaryotic sister chromatids from S phase until mitosis. The Structural Maintenance of Chromosomes (SMC) complex, known as cohesin, mediates this process by co-entrapping sister chromatids within its ring-

Role of MukBEF in Escherichia coli chromosome organization
, 2017 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.

Analyzing DNA Topology and Transcription in Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium During Dichotomous Growth [PDF]
, 2010 The bacterial chromosome is dynamic. The principle goal of my research is to understand how DNA topology is altered by transcription in Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium LT2.

Direct Imaging of the circular chromosome of a live bacterium [PDF]
, 2019 Although the physical properties of chromosomes, including their morphology, mechanics, and dynamics are crucial for their biological function, many basic questions remain unresolved. Here we directly image the circular chromosome in live E.

Dissecting the role of MukF in the chromosome organisation by Escherichia coli MukBEF
, 2020 The organisation and segregation of chromosomes from all domains of life are mediated by the architecturally conserved Structural Maintenance of Chromosomes (SMC) proteins and their accessory factors. In Escherichia coli, the distantly related complex MukBEF retains the distinctive tripartite ring structure that has been proposed to topologically ...
