Modulation of Escherichia coli sister chromosome cohesion by topoisomerase IV.

A body of evidence supports the idea that newly replicated Escherichia coli chromosomes segregate progressively as replication progresses, with spatial separation of sister genetic loci occurring approximately 15 min after their replication. We show that the time of this cohesion can be modulated by...
