Kinetic signature of cooperativity in the irreversible collapse of a polymer
Vittore F. Scolari, Guillaume Mercy, Romain Koszul +2
We investigate the kinetics of a polymer collapse due to the formation of irreversible crosslinks between its monomers. Using the contact probability as a scale-dependent or…
Combined collapse by bridging and self-adhesion in a prototypical polymer model inspired by the bacterial nucleoid
Vittore F. Scolari, Marco Cosentino Lagomarsino
Recent experimental results suggest that the E. coli chromosome feels a self-attracting interaction of osmotic origin, and is condensed in foci by bridging interactions. Motivated…
Physical descriptions of the bacterial nucleoid at large scales, and their biological implications
Vincenzo G. Benza, Bruno Bassetti, Kevin D. Dorfman +4
Recent experimental and theoretical approaches have attempted to quantify the physical organization (compaction and geometry) of the bacterial chromosome with its complement of pro…
Gene clusters reflecting macrodomain structure respond to nucleoid perturbations
Vittore F. Scolari, Bruno Bassetti, Bianca Sclavi +1
Focusing on the DNA-bridging nucleoid proteins Fis and H-NS, and integrating several independent experimental and bioinformatic data sources, we investigate the links between chrom…
