A conserved mechanism drives partition complex assembly on bacterial chromosomes and plasmids

Abstract Chromosome and plasmid segregation in bacteria are mostly driven by ParABS systems. These DNA partitioning machineries rely on large nucleoprotein complexes assembled on centromere sites (parS). However, the mechanism of how a few parS‐bound ParB proteins nucleate the formation of highly co...
