What is it about?

A genetic approach links terminal reactions of glycolysis to three replication enzymes involved in initiation of DNA replication and lagging strand synthesis during DNA elongation in Bacillus subtilis.

Why is it important?

Results suggest that properties of three replication enzymes are regulated allosterically upon changes in terminal reactions of glycolysis.

Perspectives

This paper may uncover a universal signaling system allowing modulation of DNA replication with respect to the activity of central carbon metabolism.
