The pathway to resolve dimeric forms distinguishes plasmids from megaplasmids in Enterobacteriaceae

F. Fournes, M. Campos, J. Cury, C. Schiavon, C. Pages, M. Touchon, E. P. C. Rocha, P. Rousseau, F. Cornet

The paper identifies that XerCD recombination is used by large plasmids and chromids for dimer resolution, similar to chromosomes, and shows this is required for their faithful inheritance.

Parallels between experimental and natural evolution of legume symbionts

C. Clerissi, M. Touchon, D. Capela, M. Tang, S. Cruveiller, M. A. Parker, L. Moulin, C. Masson-Boivin, E. P. C. Rocha

This study compares natural and experimental evolution of legume symbionts, finding similar patterns of purifying selection and adaptation through quorum-sensing systems.

Inhibition of NHEJ repair by type II-A CRISPR-Cas systems

A. Bernheim, A. Calvo Villamanan, C. Basier, E. P. C. Rocha, M. Touchon, D. Bikard

The paper investigates the interaction between NHEJ repair and type II-A CRISPR-Cas systems, finding that Csn2 inhibits NHEJ while NHEJ does not affect CRISPR-Cas.
