Abstract excerpt

The TraT protein is a cell-surface-exposed, outer membrane lipoprotein specified by large, usually conjugative, F-like plasmids. Two biological activities have been associated with the protein: (i) prevention of self-mating of cells carrying identical or closely related conjugative plasmids, by b...
