Abstract excerpt
Arrest of DNA replication in Escherichia coli is mediated by specific interactions between the Tus protein and terminator (Ter) sequences. Binding of Tus to a Ter site forms a asymmetric protein-DNA complex that arrests DNA replication in an orientation-dependent fashion. In this study, mutant Ter sites carrying single base pair substitutions at 16 different positions were examined for their ability to bind...
