Identification of single‐strand initiation signals in the terC region of the Escherichia coli chromosome
Year: 1989
Type: article
Abstract: On the basis of clear-plaque formation, we detected initiation signals in the terC region of the Escherichia coli chromosome. At least two single-strand initiation signals were identified from the terC region. The nucleotide sequences of these two signals were determined. Sequence homologies, variations of the consensus of n' protein recognition sites, 5'-GAAGCGG-3', were found within these signals. A novel conserved sequence was also found within these signals. Their initiation activities were measured both by the infection growth assay and by the ability to convert the single-stranded DNA to the duplex replicative form DNA in vivo.
