Protein Domain : Nucleoid occlusion protein IPR023705

Type  Family
Description  This entry represents nucleoid occlusion proteins belonging to the parB family. Nucleoid occlusion protein effects nucleoid occlusion by binding relatively nonspecifically to DNA and preventing the assembly of the division machinery in the vicinity of the nucleoid, especially under conditions that disturb the cell cycle. It helps to coordinate cell division and chromosome segregation by preventing the formation of the Z ring through the nucleoid, which would cause chromosome breakage [ ].
