Abstract excerpt
The expression of dnaA is autoregulated, in that transcription of the gene increases when DnaA is inactivated (and initiation of replication prevented) and decreases when DnaA is supplied in excess. However, the inactivation of DnaA does not necessarily lead to increased DnaA production, as dnaA(Ts; temperature sensitive) strains which are integratively suppressed by derivatives of the plasmid R1 do not show...
