Abstract excerpt
The dnaX gene of Escherichia coli encodes tau and gamma clamp loader subunits of the replisome. Cells carrying the temperature-sensitive dnaX2016 mutation were induced for the SOS response at non-permissive temperature. The SOS induction most likely resulted from extensive replication fork collapse that exceeded the cells' capacity for restart. Seven mutations in the dnaA gene that partly suppressed the dnaX2016...
