Article Synopsis
- - Vibrio cholerae, the bacterium causing cholera, has two chromosomes that replicate in a coordinated manner, with Chr2 replication initiated only after a specific site on Chr1 is replicated.
- - The protein RctB plays a key role in this process, functioning as an initiator at one binding site and as a repressor at another, but the exact mechanism connecting RctB to the replication signal from Chr1 is not completely understood.
- - This study reveals that the crtS site on Chr1 prevents repression of Chr2 initiation by blocking the 39m sites on Chr2, and highlights the importance of a specific part of the RctB protein that is conserved in Vibrio but not in other
