P1 and P7 plasmid partition: ParB protein bound to its partition site makes a separate discriminator contact with the DNA that determines species specificity.

The cis-acting P1 and P7 parS sites are responsible for active partition of P1 and P7 plasmids to daughter cells. The two sites are similar but function only with ParB proteins from the correct species. Using hybrid ParB proteins and hybrid parS sites, we show that specificity is determined by conta...
