Condensin
Contents
- 1 Condensin is a conserved protein complex that binds the origin region of the DNA. It is required for segregation of the origin regions after DNA replication. Condensin is a central modulator of chromosome superstructure in all domains of life.
- 2 Mutants lacking condensin components are viable as long as they grow slowly (i.e. on minimal medium), but the components are essential for rapid growth (on LB).
- 3 Localization of the condensin complex depends on Spo0J.
- 4 The condensin complex: Smc2-ScpA-ScpB
- 5 Back to protein-protein interactions
