International audience. he parE10(Ts) mutation, which renders Escherichia coli thermosensitive for growth by inactivation of the essential E. coli topoisomerase topo IV, is lethal at all temperatures when PriA, the main replication restart protein, is absent. This lethality is suppressed by the activation of a PriA-independent replication restart pathway (dnaC809 mutation). This result suggests that topo IV acts prior to full-chromosome replication completion.

Blocking replication forks in the Escherichia coli chromosome by ectopic Ter sites renders the RecBCD pathway of homologous recombination and SOS induction essential for viability. In this work, we show that the E. coli helicase I...
