The SeqA protein is a negative regulator of initiation of DNA replication in the Escherichia coli chromosome. Here, we demonstrate that SeqA stimulates transcription from the bacteriophage lambda pR promoter both in vivo and in vitro. The activity of the lambda pL promoter was found not to be affected by this protein. SeqA-mediated stimulation of pR was dependent on the state of template methylation:...
