Dominance of dnaA+ to dnaA in Escherichia coli.

PMCID: PMC235307  PMID: 233727

Abstract

The dominance of dnaA+ to the dnaA508 mutation was complete and was unaffected by the presence of a copy of the chromosomal replication origin on the episome. These results prove that the dnaA gene of Escherichia coli produces a diffusible product.
