Abstract excerpt
Conjugative transfer of IncN plasmid pKM101 is mediated by the TraI-TraII region-encoded transfer machinery components. Similar to the case for the related Agrobacterium tumefaciens T-complex transfer apparatus, this machinery is needed for assembly of pili to initiate cell-to-cell contact preceding DNA transfer. Biochemical and cell biological experiments presented here show extracellular localization of TraC,...
