The protein
Catalyzed reaction/ biological activity
binds multiple regions in the oriC region, required for recruitment of proteins needed to load the replicative helicase [protein|5CF09E089AA70A32F640CE0D33D1F05312AAE24D|dnaC]
binds to a pair of double-stranded DNA binding sites ([protein|6740108089F13116F200C15F35C2E7561E990FEB|dnaA]‐boxes) that guide the protein onto adjacent ssDNA binding motifs ([protein|6740108089F13116F200C15F35C2E7561E990FEB|dnaA]‐trios) where the protein assembles into an oligomer that stretches DNA to promote origin unwinding [pubmed|34197592]

Domain II: aa 81 ... 114: flexible loop [pubmed|10572294]

Effectors of protein activity
[protein|03595BF6DB8AE79604A720A5BD85C0DB781EE306|sirA] displaces [protein|6740108089F13116F200C15F35C2E7561E990FEB|dnaA] from the replication origin [Pubmed|19682252]
[protein|A039228A3805F4E7C5C2AE31C7DB0808562E88E3|yabA] inhibits co-operative binding of DnaA to the ''oriC'' DNA [Pubmed|21895792]
DnaA helix formation (and thus replication initiation) is inhibited by the interaction of either [protein|5B3DB5A796ACA48390278E60478DFF13D0074A8D|parA], [protein|A039228A3805F4E7C5C2AE31C7DB0808562E88E3|yabA] or [protein|83E05071DEC874248D3E96B8F3A093C65939B314|dnaN] with the AAA domain of DnaA [Pubmed|23909787,22286949]
interaction with [protein|C9FEE07601AD28B2651EB881A1D9B34D5082237C|dnaD] inhibits the ability of [protein|6740108089F13116F200C15F35C2E7561E990FEB|dnaA] to cooperatively bind to DNA [Pubmed|22821970]
