Abstract
The dnaA gene of Staphylococcus aureus has now been cloned and sequenc ed The deduced amino acid sequence of Staphylococcus aureus DnaA prote in is 62% and 39% identical to those of the DnaA protein from Bacillus subtilis and Escherichia coli, respectively. Expression of the dnaA g ene of Staphylococcus aureus in Escherichia coli caused lethality in a n oriC-dependent manner.
