Abstract excerpt
The ability to repair damaged replication forks and restart them is important for cell survival. DnaT is essential for replication restart in vitro and yet no definite genetic analysis has been done in Escherichia coli K-12. To begin, dnaT822, an in-frame six-codon (87-92) deletion was constructed. DnaT822 mutants show colony size, cell morphology, inability to properly partition nucleoids, UV sensitivity, and...
