Schematic of the autorepressor model of initiator expression. An autorepressor is expressed such that its concentration remains constant and independent of the growth rate of the cell. The initiator is expressed in proportion to the autorepressor, but is localized at the origins of replication. Adapted from Sompayrac and Maaloe (1973).
