Abstract excerpt
Induction of a mutant DnaA protein (DnaA E204Q) with decreased intrinsic ATPase activity in cells was previously shown to cause overinitiation of chromosomal DNA replication and a dominant lethal phenotype. Here it is shown that the dominant lethality required incubation at high temperatures; cells harboring the expression plasmid of DnaA E204Q showed very weak colony formation ability (less than 1/10(5) that of...
