Proper segregation of DNA replication products is essential in all cells. In Bacillus subtilis, two protein complexes have been implicated in this process: the ParAB homologs, Soj and Spo0J, and the bacterial Smc/ScpAB complex, also called condensin. Here we demonstrate that Smc is highly enriched in the region around the origin of replication, specifically near parS sites to which Spo0J binds and at highly transcribed genes. Furthermore, we find that efficient recruitment of Smc to a large regi ...[more]
