traG protein of the F sex factor of Escherichia coli K-12 and its role in conjugation

P A Manning et al. Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A. 1981 Dec.

Abstract

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.
