Abstract excerpt
The induction of a mutant DnaA protein (DnaA E204Q) with decreased intrinsic ATPase activity in cells causes a lethal phenotype. Based on our results that the decreased ATPase activity of DnaA E204Q is activated to the level of a wild-type protein in the presence of partially purified stimulating factors for DnaA ATPase, we tested the hypothesis that genes encoding the stimulating factors can be cloned as...
