Replication-dependent recruitment of the beta-subunit of DNA polymerase III from cytosolic spaces to replication forks in Escherichia coli

J Bacteriol. 2002 Feb;184(3):867-70. doi: 10.1128/JB.184.3.867-870.2002.

Abstract

The beta-subunit of DNA polymerase III is located as one or two condensed clusters within the nucleoid-occupied space in exponentially growing cells of Escherichia coli. When chromosome replication is terminated after incubation at nonpermissive temperature in a temperature-sensitive dnaC mutant, the beta-subunit is located in the cytosolic spaces of the cell poles.
