Abstract excerpt
The PriA replication protein of Escherichia coli (formerly replication factor Y or protein n') is multifunctional. It is a site-specific, single-stranded DNA-dependent ATPase (dATPase), a 3'----5' DNA helicase, and guides the ordered assembly of the primosome, a mobile, multiprotein DNA replication priming/helicase complex. Although PriA is not absolutely required for viability, priA null mutant cells grow very...
