The sum of the number of unique genes and the number of gene families is an estimate of the number of types of genes.
The minimum size of the proteome can be estimatedfrom the number of types of genes.

#Unit 3. Fundamental Processes
In dam- E. coli If the plasmid is methylated, it undergoes a single round of replication, and if it is hemimethylated products accumulate
#Id: 732
The GATC sites at the origin remain hemimethylated for 13 minutes after replication.
#Id: 733
DNA methylation in bacteria allows the DNA mismatch recognition machinery to distinguish the old template strand from the new strand.
#Id: 734
Initiation of replication in E.Coli at oriC starts with formation of a complex that ultimately requires six proteins: DnaA, DnaB, DnaC, HU, gyrase, and SSB
#Id: 735
The minimal origin is defined by the distance between the outside members of the 13-mer and 9-mer repeats.
#Id: 736
The four 9-bp consensus sequences on the right side of oriC provide the initial binding sites for DnaA-ATP
