traG protein of the F sex factor of Escherichia coli K-12 and its role in conjugation
AUTOR(ES)
Manning, Paul A.
RESUMO
The traG protein of the F sex factor is an inner membrane protein with a molecular weight of 116,000. Mutants in traG (or in traN) are able to trigger conjugal DNA replication even though they cannot efficiently form stable mating aggregates with F- cells. The traG protein (and the traN protein) probably acts in the donor at the stabilization stage of conjugation.
