ParC, a New Partitioning Protein, Is Necessary for the Active Form of ParA From Myxococcus pMF1 Plasmid

The ParABS partitioning system, a main driver of DNA segregation in bacteria, employs two proteins, ParA and ParB, for plasmid partition. The pMF1 plasmid from Myxococcus fulvus 124B02 has a par operon encoding a small acidic protein, ParC, in addition to type I ParA and ParB homologs. Here, we show...
