The coupling between ftsZ transcription and initiation of DNA replication is not mediated by the DnaA-boxes upstream of ftsZ or by DnaA.

Molecular microbiology - 1 Jul 1996

Abstract excerpt

The DnaA protein of Escherichia coli is a multi-functional protein which, In addition to promoting initiation of replication, can regulate the initiation or termination of transcription of a variety of genes. It acts by binding to DNA at a defined sequence, termed a DnaA-box. Three candidate DnaA-boxes which occur within the essential cell-division genes, ftsQ and ftsA, have been hypothesized to mediate the...
