Abstract excerpt
F-like plasmids require a number of genes for conjugation, including tra operon genes and genes traM and traJ, which lie outside the tra operon. We now establish that a gene in the "leading region," gene 19, provides an important function during conjugation and RNA phage infection. Mutational ina...
