Unique and universal features of Epsilonproteobacterial origins of chromosome replication and DnaA-DnaA box interactions

In bacteria, chromosome replication is initiated by the interaction of the initiator protein DnaA with a defined region of a chromosome at which DNA replication starts (oriC). While DnaA proteins share significant homology regardless of phylogeny, oriC regions exhibit more variable structures. The g...
