DNA replication initiation at oriC: DnaA (green) recognizes binding sites on oriC, forming a nucleoprotein complex which induces unwinding at the DNA unwinding element (DUE). The helicase loader then facilitates binding of the DNA helicase (red) as a prelude to recruitment and assembly of other components of the replication machinery. Figure inspired by [4].
