Abstract excerpt
The initiation of replication in bacteria is regulated via the initiator protein DnaA. ATP-bound DnaA binds to multiple sequences at the origin of replication, oriC, unwinding the DNA and promoting the binding of DnaB helicase. From an Escherichia coli mutant highly perturbed for replication control, obgE::Tn5-EZ seqADelta, we isolated multiple spontaneous suppressor mutants with enhanced growth and viability....
