Abstract excerpt
We developed an efficient method for isolation of novel dnaA mutations based on PCR mutagenesis in the presence of manganese ion and shuffling of dnaA-carrying plasmids in a dnaA deletion host bacterium. Using this system, we obtained 30 cold-sensitive mutants from 4000 clones carrying plasmids with a mutagenized dnaA gene. All 27 cold-sensitive mutants analyzed were defective in DNA replication; none had a...
