Abstract excerpt
The delivery of a ring-shaped hexameric helicase onto DNA is a fundamental step of DNA replication, conserved in all cellular organisms. We report the biochemical characterization of the bacterial hexameric replicative helicase DnaC of Bacillus subtilis with that of the two replication initiation proteins DnaI and DnaB. We show that DnaI and DnaB interact physically and functionally with the DnaC helicase and...
