22 genes |
Product | Conjugal transfer protein TrbC |
1stcategory | P-T4SS |
2ndcategory | VirB2/TrbC Family |
3rdcategory | Conjugation |
Function | Component of the Trb system that is referred to as the Tra2 operon of the plasmid IncP-alpha, which encodes the apparatus for mating pair formation, the first step in conjugative transfer. |
Miscellaneus | For transfer the plasmid requires two blocks of genes. The transfer origin, oriT and genes traA to traM constitute the Tra1 block, which is mainly concerned with trigering DNA transfer, while the genes trbA to trbP form a Tra2 operon concerned mainly with mating pair formation.
