Abstract excerpt
In bacterial DNA replication, the initiator protein DnaA binds to the multiple DnaA box sequences located at oriC to facilitate the unwinding of duplex DNA strands. The cyanobacterium Synechococcus elongatus PCC 7942, which contains multiple chromosomal copies per cell, has DnaA box (like sequences around the oriC region, which is located upstream of dnaN. We previously observed the binding of DnaA around the...
