One other region behaves like oriC:
The promoter of the dnaA gene also shows a delay before remethylation begins.
While it is hemimethylated, the dnaA promoter is repressed, which causes a reduction in the level of DnaA protein.
So Initiation of Replication (E.coli) takes place when GATC at origin is full methylated as well as promoter of DnaA gene.
