Separation of newly replicated bacterial chromosomes: the role of Escherichia coli Topoisomerase IV
Helgesen, E.; Saetre, F.; Skarstad, K.
Show abstract
Topoisomerase IV (TopoIV) is a vital bacterial enzyme which disentangles newly replicated DNA and enables segregation of daughter chromosomes. In bacteria, DNA replication and segregation are concurrent processes. This means that TopoIV must continually remove inter-DNA linkages during replication. There exists a short time lag of about 5-10 minutes between replication and segregation in which the daughter chromosomes are intertwined. Exactly where TopoIV binds during the cell cycle has been the subject of much debate. We show here that TopoIV localizes to the origin proximal side of the fork trailing protein SeqA and follows the movement pattern of the replication machinery in the cell.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
