Product | Conjugal transfer protein TraG homolog |
1stcategory | P-T4SS |
2ndcategory | VirD4/TraG Family |
3rdcategory | Conjugation |
Function | Component of a T4SS Tra/Trb encoded on symbiosis island of M. loti R7A, which probably is involved in island transfer via mechanism analogue of conjugation. |
Miscellaneus | The Mesorhizobium loti strain R7A symbiosis island is a 502-kb chromosomally
integrated element which transfers to nonsymbiotic mesorhizobia in the environment, converting them to Lotus symbionts. It integrates into a phenylalanine tRNA gene in a process mediated by a P4-type integrase encoded at the left end of the element.
