Phenotypes of a mutant

  • strongly reduced growth rate in minimal medium PubMed
  • The protein

    Catalyzed reaction/ biological activity

  • negative control of replication initiation PubMed
  • associates with the oriC region in a DnaA-dependent manner, this limits the amount of DnaA that can bind the oriC region PubMed
  • YabA inhibits co-operative DNA binding by DnaA PubMed
  • inhibits oligomerization and helix formation of DnaA PubMed
  • Protein family

  • yabA family (according to Swiss-Prot)
  • Domains

  • leucine zipper
  • Cofactors

  • Zinc PubMed
  • Effectors of protein activity

  • DnaN overexpression or release from the replisome decreases association of YabA with oriC, increases association of DnaA with oriC PubMed
  • Structure

    Localization

  • forms foci in the midcell region, this depends on the interaction with DnaA and DnaN PubMed
  • Expression and Regulation

    Operons

    Description

    Regulation

  • expressed during growth and the transition phase, expression is erduced in stationary phase PubMed
