Abstract excerpt
The prgB gene encodes aggregation substance (Asc10) which is essential for transfer of the pheromone-inducible conjugative plasmid pCF10 in Enterococcus faecalis. The prgQ and prgS regions, located 4 kb upstream of prgB, are required for the expression of prgB. Complementation studies indicated that the prgQ region functions in cis and in an orientation-dependent manner relative to the prgB gene (J. W. Chung and...
