The protein

Catalyzed reaction/ biological activity

• binds multiple regions in the oriC region, required for recruitment of proteins needed to load the replicative helicase [protein|5CF09E089AA70A32F640CE0D33D1F05312AAE24D|DnaC]

Protein family

• dnaA family (according to Swiss-Prot)

[SW|Domains]

• AAA + domain

Effectors of protein activity

• [protein|03595BF6DB8AE79604A720A5BD85C0DB781EE306|SirA] displaces [protein|6740108089F13116F200C15F35C2E7561E990FEB|DnaA] from the replication origin [Pubmed|19682252]
• [protein|A039228A3805F4E7C5C2AE31C7DB0808562E88E3|YabA] inhibits co-operative binding of DnaA to the ''oriC'' DNA [Pubmed|21895792]
• DnaA helix formation (and thus replication initiation) is inhibited by the interaction of either [protein|5B3DB5A796ACA48390278E60478DFF13D0074A8D|ParA], [protein|A039228A3805F4E7C5C2AE31C7DB0808562E88E3|YabA] or [protein|83E05071DEC874248D3E96B8F3A093C65939B314|DnaN] with the AAA domain of DnaA [Pubmed|23909787,22286949]
• interaction with [protein|C9FEE07601AD28B2651EB881A1D9B34D5082237C|DnaD] inhibits the ability of [protein|6740108089F13116F200C15F35C2E7561E990FEB|DnaA] to cooperatively bind to DNA [Pubmed|22821970]

Structure

[SW|Localization]

• throughout the cytoplasm [Pubmed|10844689]
