Abstract excerpt
AdpA, one of the most pleiotropic transcription regulators in bacteria, controls expression of several dozen genes during Streptomyces differentiation. Here, we report a novel function for the AdpA protein: inhibitor of chromosome replication at the initiation stage. AdpA specifically recognizes the 5' region of the Streptomyces coelicolor replication origin (oriC). Our in vitro results show that binding of AdpA...
