“ Acidic phospholipids … DnaA binding to ATP, and here we examine the effects of various phospholipids on DnaA binding to oriC. Among the phospholipids in E. coli … phosphatidylglycerol containing unsaturated fatty acids inhibited binding more potently than did synthetic phosphatidylglycerol containing saturated fatty acids, suggesting that membrane fluidity is important.”
“Thus, acidic phospholipids seem to inhibit DnaA binding to both oriC and adenine nucleotides in the same manner.”
