The complex of oriC DNA with the DnaA initiator protein
Abstract
We describe several experimental approaches relating to the early steps in the initiation of DNA replication at oriC. 1) A matrix is given which enables calculatation of the relative affinity of DnaA boxes for DnaA protein; 2) base changes within single Dna A boxes in oriC have little effect on oriC function; 3) mutations which change the distance between DnaA boxes inactivate oriC, but changes by one helical turn (+ and -) result in near wild-type oriC activity; 4) a Fis binding site was located at oriC coordinates 206-220; 5) KMnO4 probing demonstrates Dna-A-dependent unwinding in the left part of oriC in vivo and in vitro.
