To grow and multiply efficiently, bacteria must coordinate cell division with chromosome segregation. Crucial to this process in the bacterium
Bacillus subtilis (commonly found in soil and the guts of humans and ruminants) is a protein called Nucleoid Occlusion Factor or ‘Noc’. Noc binds to particular binding sites on the chromosome and then recruits further Noc proteins to grow a larger protein complex. Part of the Noc protein can also bind to the cell membrane, pulling chromosomal DNA towards the membrane, allowing space for cellular division machinery to split the cell in two while keeping the DNA away and undamaged from this process.
