Resumen de Replication termination and chromosome dimer resolution in the archaeon Sulfolobus solfataricus

Iain G Duggin, Nelly Dubarry, Stephen D. Bell

• Eubacteria and archaea possess single-circular chromosomes, yet some archaea resemble eukaryotes in using multiple origins and replication forks. Replication termination in Sulfolobus is found to occur by stochastic collision of these forks, and—unlike the situation in eubacteria—it is not linked to chromosome segregation.
