Abstract excerpt
DnaA protein, the initiator of chromosomal DNA replication in Escherichia coli, seems to be reactivated from the ADP-bound form to its ATP-bound form through stimulation of ADP release by acidic phospholipids such as cardiolipin. We previously reported that two potential amphipathic helices (Lys-327 to Ile-344 and Asp-357 to Val-374) of DnaA protein are involved in the functional interaction between DnaA and...
