Abstract excerpt
RctB serves as the initiator protein for replication from oriCII, the origin of replication of Vibrio cholerae chromosome II. RctB is conserved between members of Vibrionaceae but shows no homology to known replication initiator proteins and has no recognizable sequence motifs. We used an oriCII based minichromosome to isolate copy-up mutants in Escherichia coli. Three point mutations rctB(R269H), rctB(L439H) and...
