The complete and accurate duplication of genomic information is vital to maintain genome
stability in all domains of life. In Escherichia coli, replication termination, the final stage of
the duplication process, is confined to the ‘replication fork trap’ region by multiple
unidirectional fork barriers formed by the binding of Tus protein to genomic ter sites.
Termination typically occurs away from Tus-ter complexes, but they become part...
