High impact information on traD

  • TraM is essential for F plasmid-mediated bacterial conjugation, where it binds to the plasmid DNA near the origin of transfer, and recognizes a component of the transmembrane DNA transfer complex, TraD [1].
  • Comparison of TraM to its Glu88 mutants predicted to stabilize the helical structure suggests that the protonated state is the active form for binding TraD in conjugation [1].
  • Using a traD overexpression plasmid, we purified the F sex factor TraD protein in milligram quantities [2].
  • Purification and properties of the F sex factor TraD protein, an inner membrane conjugal transfer protein [2].
