Coupling between DNA replication, segregation, and the onset of constriction in Escherichia coli
Summary: Escherichia coli cell cycle features two critical cell-cycle checkpoints: initiation of replication and the onset of constriction. While the initiation of DNA replication has been extensively studied, it is less clear what triggers the onset of ...

oriC-encoded instructions for the initiation of bacterial chromosome replication
Replication of the bacterial chromosome initiates at a single origin of replication that is called oriC. This occurs via the concerted action of numerous proteins, including DnaA, which acts as an initiator.

Cloning, expression, and chromosomal localization of the 140-kilodalton subunit of replication factor C from mice and humans [PDF]
We have isolated a full-length mouse cDNA encoding a lysine-rich protein of 1,131 amino acids with a calculated molecular mass of 126 kDa. The protein binds in a sequence-unspecific manner to DNA, is localized exclusively in the nucleus, and contains a ...

The DNA replication initiation protein DnaD recognises a specific strand of the Bacillus subtilis chromosome origin [PDF]
Genome replication is a fundamental biological activity shared by all organisms. Chromosomal replication proceeds bidirectionally from origins, requiring the loading of two helicases, one for each replisome. However, the molecular mechanisms underpinning

Summary: DNA replication initiates at genome sites termed origins. Previous origin mapping approaches in the populations of the protozoan parasite Leishmania major were discordant, suggesting either a single origin per chromosome or 200-fold more origins.

Ultrafine anaphase bridges, broken DNA and illegitimate recombination induced by a replication fork barrier [PDF]
Most DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) in S- and G2-phase cells are repaired accurately by Rad51-dependent sister chromatid recombination. However, a minority give rise to gross chromosome rearrangements (GCRs), which can result in disease/death.

Genome-wide analysis reveals extensive functional interaction between DNA replication initiation and transcription in the genome of trypanosoma brucei [PDF]
Identification of replication initiation sites, termed origins, is a crucial step in understanding genome transmission in any organism. Transcription of the Trypanosoma brucei genome is highly unusual, with each chromosome comprising a few discrete ...

Initiation of chromosome replication is an essential stage of the bacterial cell cycle that is controlled by the DnaA protein. With the aim of developing novel antimicrobials, we have targeted the initiation of DNA replication, using antisense peptide ...

Genome-wide hierarchy of replication origin usage in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. [PDF]
Replication origins in a genome are inherently different in their base sequence and in their response to temporal and cell cycle regulation signals for DNA replication.
