Phenotypes of a mutant

• strongly reduced growth rate in minimal medium [Pubmed|12060778]

The protein

Catalyzed reaction/ biological activity

• negative control of replication initiation [Pubmed|12060778]
• associates with the ''oriC'' region in a [protein|6740108089F13116F200C15F35C2E7561E990FEB|DnaA]-dependent manner, this limits the amount of [protein|6740108089F13116F200C15F35C2E7561E990FEB|DnaA] that can bind the ''oriC'' region [Pubmed|21895792]
• YabA inhibits co-operative DNA binding by [protein|6740108089F13116F200C15F35C2E7561E990FEB|DnaA] [Pubmed|21895792]
• inhibits oligomerization and helix formation of [protein|6740108089F13116F200C15F35C2E7561E990FEB|DnaA] [Pubmed|23909787]

Protein family

• yabA family (according to Swiss-Prot)

[SW|Domains]

• leucine zipper

[SW|Cofactors]

• Zinc [Pubmed|26615189]

Effectors of protein activity

• [protein|83E05071DEC874248D3E96B8F3A093C65939B314|DnaN] overexpression or release from the replisome decreases association of [protein|A039228A3805F4E7C5C2AE31C7DB0808562E88E3|YabA] with ''oriC'', increases association of [protein|6740108089F13116F200C15F35C2E7561E990FEB|DnaA] with ''oriC'' [Pubmed|21895792]

Structure

• [PDB|5DOL] [Pubmed|26615189]

[SW|Localization]

• forms foci in the midcell region, this depends on the interaction with [protein|6740108089F13116F200C15F35C2E7561E990FEB|DnaA] and [protein|83E05071DEC874248D3E96B8F3A093C65939B314|DnaN] [Pubmed|26615189]
• co-localizes with the origin region and replication forks throughout the cell cycle [pubmed|28166228]
