Abstract excerpt
Agrobacteria have Ti plasmid DNA delivering systems for the transfer to recipient cells by the conjugation mechanism. This transfer is absolutely dependent on induction tra genes. It is not clear which tra-dependent surface (extracellular) proteins (structures) are involved in the transport mechanism and whether these proteins also play a role in the contact formation. SDS-PAGE electrophoresis of proteins...
