Tus binds specifically to <scene name='User:Nathan_Harris/Tus/Ter/1'>Ter</scene> sequences within the ''E. Coli'' genome forming a Tus- ''Ter'' complex which functions to trap replication forks. Tus binds to ''Ter'' sites as an asymmetric monomer creating a permissive and non-permissive face to allow for polar fork arrest. | ||
