Abstract excerpt
The dnaG gene of Escherichia coli encodes the primase protein, which synthesizes a short pRNA that is essential for the initiation of both leading and lagging strand DNA synthesis. Two temperature-sensitive mutations in the 3' end of the dnaG gene, dnaG2903 and parB, cause a defect in chromosome partitioning at the nonpermissive temperature 42 degrees. We have characterized 24 cold-sensitive suppressor mutations...
