Control of the bacterial cell cycle.
New insights into the control of DNA replication through growth, hemimethylated DNA and DnaA protein have been described. Fundamental shifts in thinking have resulted in the identification of new cell cycle genes with potential roles in initiation of DNA replication, chromosomal segregation and division. Excitingly, this trend may also narrow the apparent differences between the prokaryotic and eukaryotic cell cycles.
