Abstract excerpt
The dnaA gene of Escherichia coli specifies a product that is a key element in the initiation of DNA replication. Expression of dnaA occurs from two promoters, 1P and 2P, which flank a DnaA protein binding site (DnaA box). In this paper we describe the effects of DnaA box mutations on transcription from the two promoters, measured with the use of dnaA-galK gene fusions. All of the mutations examined led to a...
