Function | Functions as a Dtr protein required for the conjugal transfer of the plasmid pTiC58. TraC is necessary for the efficient oriT processing. Together with TraA and TraD forms a putative relaxosome at oriT that represses the traCDGyci operon as well as the divergent traAFBH operon. |
Miscellaneus | It was proposed that an ancestor of the pTiC58 plasmid may have arisen by the fusion of two conjugal plasmids and that one (IncP-type) tra system in this fusion retained the original function while the other (IncN-type) could have evolved to transfer DNA to plant nuclei.
