Recent studies provide evidence that bacterial chromosomes are replicated by an enzyme factory, the replisome, located at a fixed position at the center of the cell; the fixed replisome could be a major factor in determining chromosome order in the cell, and may provide the force that drives chromosome segregation.
近期研究提供了证据,表明细菌染色体由位于细胞中心固定位置的一种酶工厂——复制体进行复制;固定的复制体可能是决定细胞中染色体排列顺序的一个主要因素,并且可能提供驱动染色体分离的力量。
