- Title
Bacterial physiology: Opportunity Nocs.
- Authors
Jermy, Andrew
- Abstract
The article highlights a study in bacterial physiology which describes the identification of DNA binding sites on the Bacillus subtilis chromosome for the nucleoid occlusion protein Noc. The study also indicates that Noc functions as a spatial and a temporal regulator for cell division. The authors of the study found that Noc localized dynamically to the nucleoid and cell periphery and its absence in the replication terminus (terC) is important for the correct timing of cell division.
