Extrachromosomal Nucleolus-Like Compartmentalization by a Plasmid-Borne Ribosomal RNA Operon and Its Role in Nucleoid Compaction

Extrachromosomal Nucleolus-Like Compartmentalization by a Plasmid-Borne Ribosomal RNA Operon and Its Role in Nucleoid Compaction

In the fast-growing Escherichia coli cells, RNA polymerase (RNAP) molecules are concentrated and form foci at clusters of ribosomal RNA (rRNA) operons resembling eukaryotic nucleolus. The bacterial nucleolus-like organization, spatially compartmentalized at the surface of the compact bacterial chrom...
