title: Isolation of a new hemimethylated DNA binding protein which regulates dnaA gene expression.
abstract: In this report, we show that yccV, a gene of unknown function, encodes a protein having an affinity for a hemimethylated oriC DNA and that the protein negatively controls dnaA gene expression in vivo.
