Term Name:	SeqA-DNA complex
Synonyms:	SeqA-dsDNA complex, SeqA-hemimethylated DNA complex, SeqA-hemimethylation dsDNA complex
Definition:	A protein-DNA complex that contains an oligomer of SeqA bound to GATC sites in methylated or newly-synthesized, hemi-methylated double-stranded DNA, with preference for the latter. Binding of SeqA to hemimethylated DNA sequesters oriC, prevents re-methylation of DNA by Dam and in turn stops premature re-initiation of replication during one replication cycle.
