Interplay between recombination, cell division and chromosome structure during chromosome dimer resolution in Escherichia coli.

Chromosome dimers form in bacteria by recombination between circular chromosomes. Resolution of dimers is a highly integrated process involving recombination between dif sites catalysed by the XerCD recombinase, cell division and the integrity of the division septum-associated FtsK protein and the p...
