Evidence for a Dynamic Adaptor Complex between the P1 Plasmid and Bacterial Nucleoid Promoted by ParA and ParB Partition Proteins

P1 prophage is stably maintained in E. coli as a low-copy-number plasmid. Stable maintenance of P1 is dependent on the function of the plasmid encoded partition system, parABS. ParA is the partition ATPase, ParB is the partition-site binding protein, and parS is the partition site. The concerted act...
