Spatial organization of bacterial chromosomes.
Bacterial chromosomes are organized in stereotypical patterns that are faithfully and robustly regenerated in daughter cells. Two distinct spatial patterns were described almost a decade ago in our most tractable model organisms. In recent years, analysis of chromosome organization in a larger and more diverse set of bacteria and a deeper characterization of chromosome dynamics in the original ...
متن کاملThe Spatial Arrangement of Chromosomes during Prometaphase Facilitates Spindle Assembly
Error-free chromosome segregation requires stable attachment of sister kinetochores to the opposite spindle poles (amphitelic attachment). Exactly how amphitelic attachments are achieved during spindle assembly remains elusive. We employed photoactivatable GFP and high-resolution live-cell confocal microscopy to visualize complete 3D movements of individual kinetochores throughout mitosis in no...
متن کاملMacrodomain organization of the Escherichia coli chromosome.
We have explored the Escherichia coli chromosome architecture by genetic dissection, using a site-specific recombination system that reveals the spatial proximity of distant DNA sites and records interactions. By analysing the percentages of recombination between pairs of sites scattered over the chromosome, we observed that DNA interactions were restricted to within subregions of the chromosom...
متن کاملSpatial organization of bacterial transcription and translation.
In bacteria such as Escherichia coli, DNA is compacted into a nucleoid near the cell center, whereas ribosomes-molecular complexes that translate mRNAs into proteins-are mainly localized to the poles. We study the impact of this spatial organization using a minimal reaction-diffusion model for the cellular transcriptional-translational machinery. Although genome-wide mRNA-nucleoid segregation s...
متن کاملSpatial organization in bacterial chemotaxis.
Spatial organization of signalling is not an exclusive property of eukaryotic cells. Despite the fact that bacterial signalling pathways are generally simpler than those in eukaryotes, there are several well-documented examples of higher-order intracellular signalling structures in bacteria. One of the most prominent and best-characterized structures is formed by proteins that control bacterial...
