Requirement for DnaA box R1 for oriC–IHF binding at the replication initiation period. (A) Deletion derivatives of oriC. Bars indicate the regions of oriCΔDUE and oriCΔ(DUE-R1), which were inserted at the position indicated as TER-oriC in the terC locus [shown in panel (B)] of SH022 (dnaC2) strain, resulting in strains KX237 and KX238. Symbols used for the oriC structure are shown as in Figure 1B. (C,D) IHF-ChAP-qPCR with TER-oriC-inserted cells. SH022 (dnaC2), KX237 (dnaC2 TER-oriCΔDUE), and KX238 [dnaC2 TER-oriCΔ(DUE-R1)] cells grown at 30°C (R; Random) were transferred to 38°C and incubated for 90 min (S; Synchronized). The relative levels of native oriC (C) and TER-oriC (D) before and after Ni-affinity purification were determined using real-time qPCR, and yield was calculated (expressed as %). Error bars represent standard deviation from three independent experiments.
