Disease relevance of traS

The DNA encoding the surface exclusion genes traS and traT of the F sex factor of Escherichia coli K-12 has been sequenced and the biological activity of the various terminators and promoters determined [1].

High impact information on traS

After the traS termination loop there is a small intergenic region before the traT promoter [1].
The protein is extremely hydrophobic. traS has its own promoter and a weak terminator region follows the gene [1].
The data show that traS encodes a 16,861 Mr protein with no apparent signal sequence, as expected for its cytoplasmic membrane location [1].
