Subcellular Architecture of the <i>xyl</i> Gene Expression Flow of the TOL Catabolic Plasmid of Pseudomonas putida mt-2

Abstract

The transfer of information between DNA, RNA, and proteins in a bacterium is often compared to the decoding of a piece of software in a computer. However, the tridimensional layout and the relational logic of the cognate biological hardware, i.e., the nucleoid, the RNA polymerase, and the ribosomes, are habitually taken for granted.
