ORF information
ORF ID TF00782 (frame 1) Gene ID BAA97946
Position and sequences 1...188(188 aa) Gene Name/synonym traE -
Organism Plasmid F Cluster 8 genes
Product F-type conjugal transfer protein TraE
1stcategory F-T4SS 2ndcategory TraE-F Family
3rdcategory Conjugation
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 TraE is required for pilus assembly, but its precise function is unknown. The genes encoding the essential enzymes for plasmid replication have been mapped and do not include traE. The gene is embedded in a region that contains genes essential for plasmid transfer; however, traE has not been found to be essential for this process.
Miscellaneus TraE protein is a true homologue of E. coli Topo III. Inner membrane ()
