Abstract
On the basis of clear-plaque formation, we detected initiation signals in the terC region of the Escherichia coli chromosome. At least two single-strand initiation signals were identified from the terC region. The nucleotide sequences of these two signals were determined. Sequence homologies, variations of the consensus sequence of n′ protein recognition sites, 5′-GAAGCGG-3′, were found within these signals. A novel conserved sequence was also found within these signals. Their initiation activities were measured both by the infection growth assay and by the ability to convert the single-stranded DNA to the duplex replicative form DNA in vivo.Keywords
