Abstract excerpt
We isolated and characterized temperature-sensitive mutants for two genes, dnaE and polC, that are essential for DNA replication in Staphylococcus aureus. DNA replication in these mutants had a slow-stop phenotype when the temperature was shifted to a non-permissive level. The dnaE gene encodes a homolog of the alpha-subunit of the DNA polymerase III holoenzyme, the replicase essential for chromosomal DNA...
