The role of dam methyltransferase in the control of DNA replication in E. coli.

Cell - 7 Sept 1990

Boye E, Løbner-Olesen A

Abstract excerpt

The timing and control of initiation of DNA replication in E. coli was studied under conditions where the cellular level of dam methyltransferase was controlled by a temperature-inducible promoter. Flow cytometry was used to demonstrate that the synchrony of initiation at the several origins with...
