Abstract excerpt
Escherichia coli chaperones DnaJ, DnaK and GrpE increase P1 plasmid initiator binding to the origin by promoting initiator folding. The binding allows initiation and also promotes pairing of origins which is believed to control initiation frequency. Chaperone-independent DNA binding mutants are often defective in replication control. We show here that these mutants have increased rates of association for DNA...
