The ParB-parS Chromosome Segregation System Modulates Competence Development in Streptococcus pneumoniae
ParB proteins bind centromere-like DNA sequences called parS sites and are involved in plasmid and chromosome segregation in bacteria. We previously showed that the opportunistic human pathogen Streptococcus pneumoniae contains four parS sequences located close to the origin of replication which are...
