tfoX (sxy)-dependent transformation of Aggregatibacter (Actinobacillus) actinomycetemcomitans.

Gene - 1 Sept 2007

Bhattacharjee Mrinal K, Fine Daniel H, Figurski David H

Abstract excerpt

tfoX (sxy) is a regulatory gene needed to turn on competence genes. Aggregatibacter (Actinobacillus) actinomycetemcomitans has a tfoX gene that is important for transformation. We cloned this gene on an IncQ plasmid downstream of the inducible tac promoter. When this plasmid was resident in cells of A. actinomycetemcomitans and tfoX was induced, the cells became competent for transformation. Several strains of A....
