Abstract excerpt
We characterized three mutant DnaA proteins with an amino acid substitution of R334H, R342H and E361G that renders chromosomal replication cold (20 degrees C) sensitive. Each mutant DnaA protein was highly purified from overproducers, and replication activities were assayed in in vitro oriC replication systems. At 30 degrees C, all three mutant proteins exhibited specific activity similar to that seen with the...
