Abstract excerpt
The DnaC protein of Escherichia coli is essential for replication in vivo and in vitro. In the initiation of replication of a minichromosome at its origin, DnaC delivers the DnaB helicase from a DnaB.DnaC complex to the future replication fork and then departs. However, if an excess of DnaC was present in subsequent steps, it severely inhibited replication by slowing the DnaB helicase at the replication fork....
