Abstract	How split genomes arise and evolve in bacteria is poorly understood. Since each replicon of such genomes encodes a specific partition (Par) system, the evolution of Par systems could shed light on their evolution. The cystic fibrosis pathogen Burkholderia cenocepacia has three chromosomes (c1, c2, and c3) and one plasmid (pBC), whose compatibility depends on strictly specific interactions of the centromere sequences (parS) with their cognate binding proteins (ParB). However, the Par systems of B. cenocepacia c2, c3, and pBC share many features, suggesting that they arose within an extended family. Database searching revealed seven subfamilies of Par systems like those of B. cenocepacia. All are from plasmids and secondary chromosomes of the Burkholderiales, which reinforces the proposal of an extended family. The subfamily of the Par system of B. cenocepacia c3 includes plasmid variants with parS sequences divergent from that of c3. Using electrophoretic mobility shift assay (EMSA), we found that ParB-c3 binds specifically to centromeres of these variants, despite high DNA sequence divergence. We suggest that the Par system of B. cenocepacia c3 has preserved the features of an ancestral system. In contrast, these features have diverged variably in the plasmid descendants. One such descendant is found both in Ralstonia pickettii 12D, on a free plasmid, and in Ralstonia pickettii 12J, on a plasmid integrated into the main chromosome. These observations suggest that we are witnessing a plasmid-chromosome interaction from which a third chromosome will emerge in a two-chromosome species.
