Abstract excerpt
The purified DnaA protein has a high affinity for cyclic AMP (cAMP). Using equilibrium dialysis, we determined the K(A) value for cAMP as 0.819 muM(-1). The number of cAMP binding sites per DnaA protein molecule was calculated to be 1.04. This binding was quite specific for cAMP. ATP was also bound by DnaA protein and inhibited cAMP binding. This inhibition was non-competitive in nature with an inhibition...
