Abstract excerpt
Escherichia coli DnaA protein initiates DNA replication from the chromosomal origin, oriC, and regulates the frequency of this process. Structure-function studies indicate that the replication initiator comprises four domains. Based on the structural similarity of Aquifex aeolicus DnaA to other AAA+ proteins that are oligomeric, it was proposed that Domain III functions in oligomerization at oriC (Erzberger, J....
