Sclafani, RA and Wechsler, JA (1981) Deoxyribonucleic acid initiation mutation dnaB252 is suppressed by elevated dnaC+ gene dosage. J. Bacteriol. 146:418-21

Abstract

The Escherichia coli dnaB252 allele is the only dnaB mutation which confers a deoxyribonucleic acid initiation-defective phenotype on the cell. The presence of a multicopy hybrid plasmid containing the dnaC+ gene in a dnaB252 strain completely suppressed the temperature-sensitive phenotype. It is suggested that at high temperature the dnaB252 protein has a lowered affinity for dnaC protein, and that the formation of a dnaB-dnaC complex is mandatory for initiation.
