Specific DNA recognition by F Factor TraY involves beta-sheet residues.

The Journal of biological chemistry - 9 Jul 1999

Lum P L, Schildbach J F

Abstract excerpt

The F Factor TraY protein is a sequence-specific DNA-binding protein required for efficient conjugal transfer. Genetic and biochemical studies indicate that TraY has two functional roles in conjugation. TraY binds to the PY promoter to up-regulate transcription of tra genes. TraY also binds to the plasmid origin of transfer (oriT), serving as an accessory protein in the nicking of F Factor in preparation for...
