Partition complex structure can arise from sliding and bridging of ParB dimers
Abstract In many bacteria, chromosome segregation requires the association of ParB to the parS-containing centromeric region to form the partition complex. However, the structure and formation of this complex have been unclear. Recently, studies have revealed that CTP binding enables ParB dimers to...
