Abstract excerpt
The transfer of plasmid DNA molecules between bacterial cells is achieved by a large array of conjugative transfer proteins which assemble into both cytoplasmic and membrane-associated complexes. TrhC is a membrane-associated protein that is required for the transfer of the IncHI1 resistance plasmid R27. Homologous proteins are encoded in all known conjugative systems, and each contains characteristic nucleoside...
