Abstract excerpt
In Escherichia coli wild-type cells newly formed origins cannot be reinitiated. The prevention of reinitiation is termed sequestration and is dependent on the hemimethylated state of newly replicated DNA. Several mutants discovered in a screen for the inability to sequester hemimethylated origins have been mapped to the seqA gene. Here, one of these mutants, seqA2, harbouring a single amino acid change in the...
