Abstract excerpt
Control of DNA replication initiation is essential for bacterial cells to co-ordinate the faithful replication and segregation of their genetic material. The Bacillus subtilis ATPase Soj is a dynamic protein that regulates DNA replication initiation by either inhibiting or activating the DNA replication initiator protein DnaA. Here we report that the key event which switches Soj regulatory activity is a...
