Abstract excerpt
The Escherichia coli DnaA protein, as a sequence-specific DNA binding protein, promotes the initiation of chromosomal replication by binding to four asymmetric 9-mer sequences termed DnaA boxes in oriC. Characterization of N-terminal, C-terminal, and internal in-frame deletion mutants identified residues near the C terminus of DnaA protein required for DNA binding. Furthermore, genetic and biochemical...
