DnaA protein/DNA interaction. Modulation of the recognition sequence
Abstract
In the active orientation the DnaA protein/dnaA box complex blocks transcribing RNA polymerase. The extent of transcription termination at different dnaA boxes was used to determine in vivo their various affinities to the DnaA protein. The rate of transcription distal to the respective dnaA box was monitored by the expression of the reporter gene galK. The dnaA boxes (5'-TTATACACA and 5'-TTATCCAAA), present in oriC, showed the strongest binding affinity. The dnaA box 5'-TTTTCCACA was mutated at eight positions such that the boxes differed from the consensus sequence, 5'-TT(A/T)T(A/C)CA(A/C)A, defined so far. Based on the different properties of the dnaA boxes, a new consensus sequence was derived: 5'-(T/C)(T/C)(A/T/C)T(A/C)C(A/G)(A/C/T(A/C).
