ABSTRACT The β-subunit of DNA polymerase III is located as one or two condensed clusters within the nucleoid-occupied space in exponentially growing cells of Escherichia coli. When chromosome replication is terminated after incubation at nonpermissive temperature in a temperature-sensitive dnaC mutant, the β-subunit is located in the cytosolic spaces of the cell poles.

ABSTRACT We show that temperature-sensitive mutations in dnaZ, the gene for the γ subunit of DNA polymerase III holoenzyme, can be suppressed by mutations in the dnaN gene, which encodes the β subunit. These results support a direct physical interaction of these two subunits during polymerase assembly or function. The suppressor phenotype is also sensitive to modulation by the dnaA genotype. Since dnaA is organized in an operon with dnaN, and dnaA is a regulatory gene of this operon, we propose that the dnaA effect on suppression can best be explained by modulation of suppressor dnaN levels.
