Abstract excerpt
The origin of replication (oriC) region in some clinical strains of Mycobacterium tuberculosis is a hot spot for IS6110 elements. To understand how clinical strains with insertions in oriC can replicate their DNA, we characterized the oriC regions of some clinical strains. Using a plasmid-based oriC-dependent replication assay, we showed that IS6110 insertions that disrupted the DnaA box sequence CCGTTCACA...
