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 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...
متن کاملTranscriptional regulation shapes the organization of genes on bacterial chromosomes
Transcription factors (TFs) are the key elements responsible for controlling the expression of genes in bacterial genomes and when visualized on a genomic scale form a dense network of transcriptional interactions among themselves and with other protein coding genes. Although the structure of transcriptional regulatory networks (TRNs) is well understood, it is not clear what constrains govern t...
متن کاملSpatial organization of a replicating bacterial chromosome.
Emerging evidence indicates that the global organization of the bacterial chromosome is defined by its physical map. This architectural understanding has been gained mainly by observing the localization and dynamics of specific chromosomal loci. However, the spatial and temporal organization of the entire mass of newly synthesized DNA remains elusive. To visualize replicated DNA within living c...
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...
