DnaT is essential for replication restart in vitro and yet no definite genetic analysis has been done in Escherichia coli K-12. To begin, dnaT822, an in-frame six-codon (87-92) deletion was constructed. DnaT822 mutants show colony size, cell morphology, inability to properly partition nucleoids, UV sensitivity, and basal SOS expression similar to priA2::kan mutants. DnaT822 priA2::kan double mutants had phenotypes similar to those of the single mutants. DnaT822 and dnaT822 priA2::kan mutant phenotypes were fully suppressed by dnaC809. Previously, a dominant temperature-sensitive lethal mutation, dnaT1, had been isolated in E. coli 15T(-). DnaT1 was found to have a base-pair change relative to the E. coli 15T(-) and E. coli K-12 dnaT genes that led to a single amino acid change: R152C. A plasmid-encoded E. coli K-12 mutant dnaT gene with the R152C amino acid substitution did not display a dominant temperature-sensitive lethal phenotype in a dnaT(+) strain of E. coli K-12. Instead, this mutant dnaT gene was found to complement the E. coli K-12 dnaT822 mutant phenotypes. The significance of these results is discussed in terms of models for replication restart.</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2</style></issue><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/15238512?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record></records></xml>
