| Function | Component of the conjugative T4SS trb/tra required for the transfer of plasmid F among E. coli cells, from donor cells to recipients. The TraB is required for piliation and transfer of DNA. |
| Miscellaneus | TraB is predicted to be a hydrophilic protein that extends into the periplasmic space and is anchored in the inner membrane via a single transmembrane segment near the N terminus. The high concentrations of glycine and proline in TraB are characteristic of proteins with an extended conformation, such as
VirB10 and TonB.
