Looking at the structures of these two proteins, it is not immediately obvious that they would perfom the same function, specifically, to arrest the progression of the replication fork along the bacterial chromosome at specific sites (termed ''Ter'' sites). Furthermore, this arrest-mechanism functions in a polar manner in both organisms, which is perhaps surprising considering the symmetrical characteristics of both proteins. | Looking at the structures of these two proteins, it is not immediately obvious that they would perfom the same function, specifically, to arrest the progression of the replication fork along the bacterial chromosome at specific sites (termed ''Ter'' sites).
