The Nucleoid Occlusion Protein SlmA Binds to Lipid Membranes

ABSTRACT Protection of the chromosome from scission by the division machinery during cytokinesis is critical for bacterial survival and fitness. This is achieved by nucleoid occlusion, which, in conjunction with other mechanisms, ensures formation of the division ring at midcell. In Escherichia coli...
