Organism
Photorhabdus luminescens subsp. laumondii (strain DSM 15139 / CIP 105565 / TT01)
Function
Required for spatial organization of the terminus region of the chromosome (Ter macrodomain) during the cell cycle. Prevents early segregation of duplicated Ter macrodomains during cell division. Binds specifically to matS, which is a 13 bp signature motif repeated within the Ter macrodomain.
