Abstract excerpt
The Staphylococcus aureus chromosomal gene pcrA, identified by mutations, such as pcrA3, that affect plasmid pT181 replication, has been cloned and sequenced. The pcrA gene encodes a protein with significant similarity (40% identity) to two Escherichia coli helicases: the helicase II encoded by t...
