Table 2. Summary of phenotypes for BsSpo0J mutants.
| Group | Subgroup | Mutants | parS binding | In vitro DNA compaction | In vivo foci formation |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| I | A | R39A, H57E, L60E, R79A, R80A | Normal | No compaction | No foci or fuzzy foci |
| B | R82A, R105E | Normal | No compaction (salt dependent) | Faint foci | |
| C | Q61A, V75A, F81A, M104A, R105A, Q140A, Q140R | Normal | Slower | WT like | |
| II | P62A, Y72A, I74A, V75E, G77S, E78R | Abnormal | Faster | No foci or faint foci or fuzzy foci | |
| III | A | Q61R, N112S | Normal | Faster | No foci |
| B | E52R | Normal | Faster | WT like |
Mutants were classified into three groups as described in the main text.
