DNA replication initiation causally sets the added mass for cell division in Escherichia coli

Hai Zheng, Q Cao, Zheng Zhang…·Chenli Liu

This paper shows that DNA replication initiation in E. coli sets a fixed mass increment for cell division, resolving conflicting models of division timing.

Extrusion-modulated DnaA activity oscillations coordinate DNA replication with biomass growth

D. W. Li, Hai Zheng, Yang Bai…·Chenli Liu

This study links DnaA activity oscillations to DNA replication initiation in E. coli, showing they persist independently of dnaA expression and proposing an extrusion model for regulation.
