Nonequilibrium polysome dynamics promote chromosome segregation and its coupling to cell growth in Escherichia coli

Chromosome segregation is essential for cellular proliferation. Unlike eukaryotes, bacteria lack cytoskeleton-based machinery to segregate their chromosomal DNA (nucleoid). The bacterial ParABS system segregates the duplicated chromosomal regions near the origin of replication. However, this functio...
