Abstract excerpt
In most bacteria, the timing and synchrony of initiation of chromosomal replication are determined by the binding of the AAA(+) protein DnaA to a set of high- and low-affinity sites found within the origin of chromosomal replication (oriC). Despite the large amount of information on the role and regulation of DnaA, the actual structure of the DnaA-oriC complex and the mechanism by which it primes the origin for...
