DnaI is a protein that is part of the primosome involved in prokaryotic DNA replication. In Bacillus subtilis , genetic analysis has revealed three primosomal proteins, DnaB, DnaD, and DnaI, that have no obvious homologues in E. coli . [1] They are involved in primosome function both at arrested replication forks and at the chromosomal origin.
