Requirement of the Escherichia coli dnaA gene product for plasmid F maintenance.
There are DnaA protein-binding sites in at least one F origin of replication, and only potentially leaky dnaA(Ts) mutations had ever been used in previous studies indicating that F replication was independent of the dnaA gene product. Here we show that an Escherichia coli dnaA::Tn10 host which does not make a dnaA gene product cannot sustain autonomous or integrated F plasmid maintenance.
متن کاملMechanism of autonomous control of the Escherichia coli F plasmid: purification and characterization of the repE gene product.
E protein, the 29 Kd repE gene product, is essential for the replication of the Escherichia coli F plasmid. The repE gene has been cloned and expressed in an inducible ATG-fusion vector, and the protein product has been purified to homogeneity. The purified E protein is present as a dimer in solution and binds specifically to both the 19-bp direct repeats (incB) found within the mini-F origin o...
متن کاملNonrandom F-plasmid replication in Escherichia coli K-12.
Both the autonomous and chromosomally integrated F plasmids were found to replicate in a nonrandom fashion after a density transfer from heavy medium ([13C]glucose, 15NH4) to light medium ([12C]glucose, 14NH4). The data are consistent with the hypothesis that both the chromosome and the F plasmid are replicated in a cell cycle-specific manner. Thus, these data support the proposal (J. D. Keasli...
متن کاملHda-mediated inactivation of the DnaA protein and dnaA gene autoregulation act in concert to ensure homeostatic maintenance of the Escherichia coli chromosome.
Initiation of DNA replication in Eschericia coli requires the ATP-bound form of the DnaA protein. The conversion of DnaA-ATP to DnaA-ADP is facilitated by a complex of DnaA, Hda (homologous to DnaA), and DNA-loaded beta-clamp proteins in a process termed RIDA (regulatory inactivation of DnaA). Hda-deficient cells initiate replication at each origin mainly once per cell cycle, and the rare reini...
متن کاملF'Cm Plasmid of Escherichia coli
A strain of Pasteurella pestis, harboring the F'Cm plasmid from Escherichia coli, was able to donate its chromosome to auxotrophic recipient strains of P. pestis. The frequency of gene transfer in P. pestis was approximately 10-6 per donor cell, 100 times less efficient than gene transfer in Pasteurella pseudotuberculosis, but efficient enough to determine entry times for the markers histidine,...
