HipA-Mediated Phosphorylation of SeqA Does not Affect Replication Initiation in Escherichia coli

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2018
The SeqA protein of Escherichia coli is required to prevent immediate re-initiation of chromosome replication from oriC. The SeqA protein is phosphorylated at the serine-36 (Ser36) residue by the HipA kinase.
