Identification of Elg1 interaction partners and effects on post-replication chromatin re-formation.

abstract：:Genome reduction is typical of obligate symbionts. In cellular organelles, this reduction partly reflects transfer of ancestral bacterial genes to the host genome, but little is known about gene transfer in other obligate symbioses. Aphids harbor anciently acquired obligate mutualists, Buchnera aphidicola (Gammaproteo...

Instead, they are quiescent and devote most of their metabolic activity to gene expression.
