Abstract excerpt
DNA replication in Escherichia coli starts with loading of the replicative helicase, DnaB, onto DNA. This reaction requires the DnaC loader protein, which forms a 6:6 complex with DnaB and opens a channel in the DnaB hexamer through which single-stranded DNA is thought to pass. During replication, replisomes frequently encounter DNA damage and nucleoprotein complexes that can lead to replication fork collapse....
