Abstract excerpt
We characterized the traU gene of the Escherichia coli K-12 conjugative plasmid F. Plasmids carrying segments of the F transfer operon were tested for their capacity to complement F lac traU526. The protein products of TraU+ clones were identified, and the nucleotide sequence of traU was determined. traU mapped between traW and trbC. It encodes a 330-amino-acid, Mr36,786 polypeptide that is processed. Ethanol...
