Abstract excerpt
The PriA protein was identified in Escherichia coli as a factor involved in the replication of extrachromosomal elements such as bacteriophage phiX174 and plasmid pBR322. Recent data show that PriA plays an important role in chromosomal replication, by promoting reassembly of the replication machinery during reinitiation of inactivated forks. A gene encoding a product 32% identical to the E.coli PriA protein has...
