Hawkins M, Dimude J, Howard J, Smith A, Dillingham M, Savery N, et al.
Nucleic Acids Res . 2019 Mar; 47(10):5100-5113. PMID: 30869136
Bacterial genome duplication and transcription require simultaneous access to the same DNA template. Conflicts between the replisome and transcription machinery can lead to interruption of DNA replication and loss of...

Winter A, Williams C, Isupov M, Crocker H, Gromova M, Marsh P, et al.
J Biol Chem . 2018 Oct; 293(50):19429-19440. PMID: 30337369
Toxin-antitoxin (TA) systems are present in many bacteria and play important roles in bacterial growth, physiology, and pathogenicity. Those that are best studied are the type II TA systems, in...

Bruning J, Howard J, Myka K, Dillingham M, McGlynn P
Nucleic Acids Res . 2018 Jul; 46(17):8917-8925. PMID: 30060236
Helicases catalyse DNA and RNA strand separation. Proteins bound to the nucleic acid must also be displaced in order to unwind DNA. This is exemplified by accessory helicases that clear...

Fisher G, Pastrana C, Higman V, Koh A, Taylor J, Butterer A, et al.
Elife . 2017 Dec; 6. PMID: 29244022
The ParB protein forms DNA bridging interactions around to condense DNA and earmark the bacterial chromosome for segregation. The molecular mechanism underlying the formation of these ParB networks is unclear....

Sanders K, Lin C, Smith A, Cronin N, Fisher G, Eftychidis V, et al.
Nucleic Acids Res . 2017 Feb; 45(7):3875-3887. PMID: 28160601
The PcrA/UvrD helicase functions in multiple pathways that promote bacterial genome stability including the suppression of conflicts between replication and transcription and facilitating the repair of transcribed DNA. The reported...

Wilkinson M, Troman L, Wan Nur Ismah W, Chaban Y, Avison M, Dillingham M, et al.
Elife . 2016 Dec; 5. PMID: 28009252
Our previous paper (Wilkinson , 2016) used high-resolution cryo-electron microscopy to solve the structure of the RecBCD complex, which acts in both the repair of double-stranded DNA breaks and the...

Myka K, Hawkins M, Syeda A, Gupta M, Meharg C, Dillingham M, et al.
Nucleic Acids Res . 2016 Dec; 45(5):2571-2584. PMID: 27956500
Conflicts between replication and transcription challenge chromosome duplication. Escherichia coli replisome movement along transcribed DNA is promoted by Rep and UvrD accessory helicases with Δrep ΔuvrD cells being inviable under...

Gilhooly N, Carrasco C, Gollnick B, Wilkinson M, Wigley D, Moreno-Herrero F, et al.
Nucleic Acids Res . 2016 Jan; 44(6):2727-41. PMID: 26762979
In bacteria, the repair of double-stranded DNA breaks is modulated by Chi sequences. These are recognised by helicase-nuclease complexes that process DNA ends for homologous recombination. Chi activates recombination by...

Taylor J, Pastrana C, Butterer A, Pernstich C, Gwynn E, Sobott F, et al.
Nucleic Acids Res . 2015 Jan; 43(2):719-31. PMID: 25572315
The segregation of many bacterial chromosomes is dependent on the interactions of ParB proteins with centromere-like DNA sequences called parS that are located close to the origin of replication. In...

Gollnick B, Carrasco C, Zuttion F, Gilhooly N, Dillingham M, Moreno-Herrero F
Small . 2014 Nov; 11(11):1273-84. PMID: 25400244
Motor protein functions like adenosine triphosphate (ATP) hydrolysis or translocation along molecular substrates take place at nanometric scales and consequently depend on the amount of available thermal energy. The associated...
