Deletion of the datA site does not affect once-per-cell-cycle timing but induces rifampin-resistant replication.

Abstract excerpt

In Escherichia coli, three mechanisms have been proposed to maintain proper regulation of replication so that initiation occurs once, and only once, per cell cycle. First, newly formed origins are inactivated by sequestration; second, the initiator, DnaA, is inactivated by the Hda protein at active replication forks; and third, the level of free DnaA protein is reduced by replication of the datA site. The datA...
