Gene ID | pIncPalpha_00310 |
Position and sequences | 46058...46591(177 aa) |
Gene Name/synonym |
traF
- |
Organism | Birmingham IncP-alpha plasmid |
Cluster |
24 genes |
Product | Conjugal transfer protein TraF |
1stcategory | P-T4SS |
2ndcategory | Peptidase S26C Family |
3rdcategory | Conjugation |
Function | Component of the Tra system that constitutes the Tra1 block, which is mainly concerned with triggering DNA transfer. TraF is required for donor-specific phage sensitivity. |
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.
