abstract = {The efficient segregation of replicated genetic material is
an essential step for cell division.Bacterial cells use
several evolutionarily-distinct genome segregation systems,
the mostcommon of which is the type I Par system. It
consists of an adapter protein, ParB, that bindsto the DNA
cargo via interaction with the parS DNA sequence; and an
ATPase, ParA, thatbinds nonspecific DNA and mediates cargo
transport. However, the molecular details of howthis system
functions are not well understood. Here, we report the
cryo-EM structure of theVibrio cholerae ParA2 filament bound
to DNA, as well as the crystal structures of this proteinin
various nucleotide states. These structures show that ParA
forms a left-handed filament onDNA, stabilized by nucleotide
binding, and that ParA undergoes profound structural
rear-rangements upon DNA binding and filament assembly.
Collectively, our data suggest thestructural basis for
ParA’s cooperative binding to DNA and the formation of
high ParA densityregions on the nucleoid.},
