RhoGAP: the next big thing for small mice?

abstract：:Initiation of DNA replication must be restricted to occur only once per cell cycle. In most bacteria, DnaA protein binds replication origins and promotes the initiation of DNA replication. We have found that in Bacillus subtilis, DnaA only colocalizes with origin regions at early or late stages of the cell cycle, when...
