A CTP-dependent gating mechanism enables ParB spreading on DNA

A. S. B. Jalal, N. T. Tran, C. E. M. Stevenson, A. Chimthanawala, A. Badrinarayanan, D. M. Lawson, T. B. K. Le

This study identifies a CTP-dependent gating mechanism in ParB that regulates its nucleation, spreading, and recycling during chromosome segregation in Caulobacter crescentus.

Asymmetric chromosome segregation and cell division in DNA damage-induced bacterial filaments

S. Raghunathan, A. Chimthanawala, S. Krishna, A. Vecchiarelli, A. Badrinarayanan

This study shows that DNA damage in E. coli leads to filamentation, which is resolved by asymmetric division producing wild-type sized daughter cells.
