Molecular basis of ParA ATPase activation by the CTPase ParB during bacterial chromosome segregation - Nature Communications
ParABS systems partition chromosomal DNA and low-copy plasmids in bacteria. Here, the authors elucidate the mode of interaction between ParA and ParB and clarify how ParB stimulates the ATPase activity of ParA to drive the segregation process.

Molecular basis of ParA ATPase activation by the CTPase ParB during bacterial chromosome segregation
DNA segregation by bacterial ParABS systems is mediated by transient tethering interactions between nucleoid-bound dimers of the ATPase ParA and centromere (parS)-associated complexes of the clamp-for...

I’m very happy to share our latest work on the ParABS system. We investigated the dynamic interaction between the ATPase ParA and the CTPase ParB mediating chromosome segregation in Myxococcus xanthus. I would like to thank all the people involved.
