TherepABC replication/partitioning loci are widespread in extrachromosomal replicons ofAlphaproteobacteria . They are evolutionarily diverse, subject to multi-layer self-regulation, and are responsible for the maintenance of different types of replicons, such as plasmids (e.g.,Agrobacterium pTi and pRi tumorigenic and rhizogenic plasmids), megaplasmids (e.g.,Sinorhizobium pSymA and pSymB) and essential chromids (e.g., secondary chromosomes ofAgrobacterium ,Brucella andRhodobacter ).
