DnaA function in ProkaryotesDnaA function in Prokaryotes
DnaA is an AAA+ protein in prokaryotes for DNA replication initiation. To ensure correct timing of DNA replication, intracellular DnaA is under multi-level control, including changing expression/degradation level, regulator control and functional activation/inactivation by nucleotide-depedent conformational change. DnaA is a conserved protein in prokaryotes. In E. coli, There are four regions in this protein[1]:
I: residues 1-85. DnaB loading domain; II: residues 86-133. linker region; III: residues 134-372. ATPase domain; IV: residues 373-467. DNA binding domain;
DnaA function is regulated by different nucleotide binding state. In ATP bound state, DnaA can recognize more binding elements on the chromosome(called DnaA box), and initiate replication by unwinding specific region in the DNA and recruit DnaB helicase. However, after the ATP hydrolysis, DnaA-ADP becomes an inactive protein. This activity change was shown to be associated with its oligomeric assembly state.

was solved in 2002[2], and it contains the linker region, AAA+ domain and DNA binding domain(DBD). The interaction with DNA is through the recognization of a conserved 9 bp DNA recognition sequence (TTA/TTNCACC), and this was shown by the crystal structure of the in Mycobacterium tuberculosis[3].
