A conserved mechanism drives partition complex assembly on bacterial chromosomes and plasmids by Roxanne E Debaugny, Aurore Sanchez, Jérôme Rech, Delphine Labourdette, Jérôme Dorignac, Frédéric Geniet, John Palmeri, Andrea Parmeggiani, François Boudsocq, Véronique Anton Leberre, Jean‐Charles Walter, Jean‐Yves Bouet

“…We found that “Nucleation & caging” is the only coherent model recapitulating in vivo data. We also showed that the stochastic self‐assembly of partition complexes (i) is a robust mechanism, (ii) does not directly involve ParA ATPase, (iii) results in a dynamic structure of discrete size independent of ParB concentration, and (iv) is not perturbed by active transcription but is by protein complexes. …”
