6 genes |
Product | Conjugal transfer protein TraB |
1stcategory | P-T4SS |
2ndcategory | TraB Family |
3rdcategory | Conjugation |
Function | Functions as a Dtr protein required for the conjugal transfer of the plasmid pTiC58. |
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.
TraB is member of the TraR regulon and is transcribed as traAFBH operon that is repressed by formation of a putative relaxosome at oriT consisting the TraA, TraC and TraD.
