High impact information on attJ

First, we located attJ, which codes for an IclR-type suppressor that regulates the second gene attM [1].
Mutation of attJ resulted in constitutive production of AHL-lactonase that abolishes 3OC8HSL accumulation and Ti plasmid transfer [1].
In A. tumefaciens A6, the expression of the attKLM operon is controlled by the transcriptional repressor encoded by an adjacent gene, attJ [2].
