The Rhodobacter capsulatus gene transfer agent is induced by nutrient depletion and the RNAP omega subunit.

Microbiology (Reading, England) - 1 Sept 2017

Westbye Alexander B, O'Neill Zoe, Schellenberg-Beaver Tegan, Beatty J Thomas

Abstract excerpt

Small bacteriophage-like particles called gene transfer agents (GTAs) that mediate DNA transfer between cells are produced by a variety of prokaryotes. The model GTA, produced by the alphaproteobacterium Rhodobacter capsulatus (RcGTA), is controlled by several cellular regulators, and production is induced upon entry into the stationary phase. We report that RcGTA production and gene transfer are stimulated by...
