ANALYSIS OF PARB-CENTROMERE INTERACTIONS BY MULTIPLEX SPR IMAGING REVEALS SPECIFIC PATTERNS FOR BINDING PARB IN SIX CENTROMERES OF BURKHOLDERIALES CHROMOSOMES AND PLASMIDS.

Analysis of ParB-centromere interactions by multiplex SPR imaging reveals specific patterns for binding ParB in six centromeres of Burkholderiales chromosomes and plasmids.

Bacterial centromeres-also called parS, are cis-acting DNA sequences which, together with the proteins ParA and ParB, are involved in the segregation of chromosomes and plasmids.The specific binding of ParB to parS nucleates the assembly of a large ParB/DNA complex from which ParA-the motor protein, segregates the sister replicons.Closely related f

Social enrichment during postnatal development induces transgenerational effects on emotional and reproductive behavior in mice

Across species there is evidence that the quality of the early social environment can have a profound impact on neurobiology and behavior.In the present study we explore the effect of communal rearing conditions (3 dams with 3 litters per cage) during the postnatal period on offspring (F1) and grand-offspring (F2) anxiety-like and maternal behavior
