Plasmid segregation without partition [PDF]
Mobile Genetic Elements, 2012 Low-copy number plasmids need a segregation mechanism to assort one half of the plasmid copies to each daughter cell during cell division. This can be achieved directly by partitioning plasmid copies through a mechanism reminiscent of eukaryotic mitosis.

Plasmid partition and incompatibility – the focus shifts [PDF]
Molecular Microbiology, 2007 The mitotic apparatus that a plasmid uses to ensure its stable inheritance responds to the appearance of an additional copy of the plasmid's centromere by segregating it from the pre-existing copies: if the new copy arises by replication of the plasmid ...

Plasmid partition: sisters drifting apart. [PDF]
EMBO J, 2013 Remarkably little is known about how bacterial chromosomes and their plasmids are partitioned to daughter cells prior to cell division, despite extensive experimentation and bioinformatic analysis. An in vitro study described in the current issue of The EMBO Journal recapitulates many features of plasmid partition in vivo and provides insight into how ...

Plasmid stability analysis based on a new theoretical model employing stochastic simulations. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2017 Here, we present a simple theoretical model to study plasmid stability, based on one input parameter which is the copy number of plasmids present in a host cell.

Frontiers in Molecular Biosciences, 2020 The molecular events that underpin genome segregation during bacterial cytokinesis have not been fully described. The tripartite segrosome complex that is encoded by the multiresistance plasmid TP228 in Escherichia coli is a tractable model to decipher ...

Fine-structure analysis of the P7 plasmid partition site
, 1993 The par region of bacteriophage P7 is responsible for active partition of the P7 plasmid prophage into daughter cells. The cis-acting partition site was defined precisely as a 75-bp sequence that was necessary and sufficient to promote correct ...

Frontiers in Molecular Biosciences, 2016 Certain Salmonella enterica serovars belonging to subspecies I carry low-copy-number virulence plasmids of variable size (50-90 kb). All of these plasmids share the spv operon, which is important for systemic infection.

Orderly Replication and Segregation of the Four Replicons of Burkholderia cenocepacia J2315. [PDF]
PLoS Genetics, 2016 Bacterial genomes typically consist of a single chromosome and, optionally, one or more plasmids. But whole-genome sequencing reveals about ten per-cent of them to be multipartite, with additional replicons which by size and indispensability are ...

Microbiology Spectrum, 2022 The spread of resistance genes via horizontal plasmid transfer plays a significant role in the formation of multidrug-resistant (MDR) Pseudomonas aeruginosa strains. Here, we identified a megaplasmid (ca.
