Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The Bacillus subtilis genes dnaD and dnaB are essential for the initiation of DNA replication and are required for loading of the replicative helicase at the chromosomal origin of replication oriC. Wild type DnaD and DnaB interact weakly in vitro and this interaction has not been detected in vivo or in yeast two-hybrid assays. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS: We isolated second site suppressors of the...
