Abstract excerpt
DnaA protein is the initiator of chromosomal DNA replication in Escherichia coli. We report here our evidence that thymidine transport across cytoplasmic membranes in temperature-sensitive dnaA mutants is greatly decreased at a permissive temperature for growth of the mutants. Complementation analysis with a plasmid containing the wild type dnaA gene and P1 phage-mediated transduction confirmed that mutations in...
