Competition between the replication initiator DnaA and the sequestration factor SeqA for binding to the hemimethylated chromosomal origin of E. coli in vitro

Following replication initiation, the replication origin (oriC) in Escherichia coli enters a hemimethylated state at Dam methylation sites which are recognized by the SeqA protein. SeqA binds preferentially to hemimethylated GATC sequences of DNA in vitro. SeqA is essential for the synchronous initi...
