Function

DNAA_ECOLI Plays a key role in the initiation and regulation of chromosomal replication. Binds in an ATP-dependent fashion to the origin of replication (oriC) to initiate formation of the DNA replication initiation complex exactly once per cell cycle. Binds the DnaA box (consensus sequence 5'-TTATC[CA]A[CA]A-3'); subsequent binding of DNA polymerase III subunits leads to replisome formation. The DnaA-ATP form converts to DnaA-ADP; once converted to ADP the protein cannot initiate replication, ensuring only 1 round of replication per cell cycle. DnaA can inhibit its own gene expression as well as that of other genes such as dam, rpoH, ftsA and mioC.[1] [2] [3] Also required for replication of plasmid DNA; binds 4 dnaA boxes in the minimal plasmid RK2 replication origin (oriV).[4] [5] [6]

Publication Abstract from PubMed

DnaA forms a homomultimeric complex with the origin of chromosomal replication (oriC) to unwind duplex DNA. The interaction of the DnaA N terminus with the DnaB helicase is crucial for the loading of DnaB onto the unwound region. Here, we determined the DnaA N terminus structure using NMR. This region (residues 1-108) consists of a rigid region (domain I) and a flexible region (domain II). Domain I has an alpha-alpha-beta-beta-alpha-beta motif, similar to that of the K homology (KH) domain, and has weak affinity for oriC single-stranded DNA, consistent with KH domain function. A hydrophobic surface carrying Trp-6 most likely forms the interface for domain I dimerization. Glu-21 is located on the opposite surface of domain I from the Trp-6 site and is crucial for DnaB helicase loading. These findings suggest a model for DnaA homomultimer formation and DnaB helicase loading on oriC.
