Chromosomal macrodomains and associated proteins: implications for DNA organization and replication in gram negative bacteria.

The Escherichia coli chromosome is organized into four macrodomains, the function and organisation of which are poorly understood. In this review we focus on the MatP, SeqA, and SlmA proteins that have recently been identified as the first examples of factors with macrodomain-specific DNA-binding pr...
