Disease relevance of traQ

Two traQ segments isolated in the screen against F-pilin were tested for complementation of a traQ null allele in E. coli [1].

High impact information on traQ

The traQ gene begins 399 nt distal to trbA and encodes a 94-amino-acid, Mr-10,867 protein [2].
The trbB gene, which encodes a 179-amino-acid, Mr-19,507 protein, was found to overlap slightly with traQ; its start codon begins 11 nt before the traQ stop codon [2].
Nucleotide sequence of traQ and adjacent loci in the Escherichia coli K-12 F-plasmid transfer operon [2].
