Fully efficient chromosome dimer resolution in Escherichia coli cells lacking the integral membrane domain of FtsK.

In bacteria, septum formation frequently initiates before the last steps of chromosome segregation. This is notably the case when chromosome dimers are formed by homologous recombination. Chromosome segregation then requires the activity of a double-stranded DNA transporter anchored at the septum by...
