Abstract
We constructed a hybrid replication origin that consists of the main part of oriC from Escherichia coli, the DnaA box region and the AT-rich region from Bacillus subtilis oriC. The AT-rich region could be unwound by E. coli DnaA protein, and the DnaB helicase was loaded into the single-stranded bubble. The results show that species specificity, i.e. which DnaA protein can do the unwinding, resides within the DnaA box region of oriC.Entities:
