RecBCD helicase/nuclease supports replication fork progress via recombinational repair or linear DNA degradation, explaining recBC mutant synthetic lethality with replication elongation defects. Since replication initiation defects leave chromosomes without replication forks, these should be insensitive to the recBCD status. Surprisingly, we found that both Escherichia coli dnaA46(Ts) and dnaC2(Ts) initiation mutants at semi-permissive temperatures are also recBC-colethal. Interestingly, dnaA46 recBC lethality suppressors suggest underinitiation as the problem, while dnaC2 recBC suppressors signal overintiation. Using genetic and physical approaches, we studied the dnaA46 recBC synthetic lethality, for the possibility that RecBCD participates in replication initiation. Overproduced DnaA46 mutant protein interferes with growth of dnaA+ cells, while the residual viability of the dnaA46 recBC mutant depends on the auxiliary replicative helicase Rep, suggesting replication fork inhibition by the DnaA46 mutant protein. The dnaA46 mutant depends on linear DNA degradation by RecBCD, rather than on recombinational repair. At the same time, the dnaA46 defect also interacts with Holliday junction-moving defects, suggesting reversal of inhibited forks. However, in contrast to all known recBC-colethals, which fragment their chromosomes, the dnaA46 recBC mutant develops no chromosome fragmentation, indicating that its inhibited replication forks are stable. Physical measurements confirm replication inhibition in the dnaA46 mutant shifted to semi-permissive temperatures, both at the level of elongation and initiation, while RecBCD gradually restores elongation and then initiation. We propose that RecBCD-catalyzed resetting of inhibited replication forks allows replication to displace the “sticky” DnaA46(Ts) protein from the chromosomal DNA, mustering enough DnaA for new initiations.
