Evidence for a DNA-relay mechanism in ParABS-mediated chromosome segregation

Evidence for a DNA-relay mechanism in ParABS-mediated chromosome segregation

The widely conserved ParABS system plays a major role in bacterial chromosome segregation. How the components of this system work together to generate translocation force and directional motion remains uncertain. Here, we combine biochemical approaches, quantitative imaging and mathematical modeling...
