Abstract excerpt
The eleven predicted gene products of the Agrobacterium tumefaciens virB operon are believed to form a transmembrane pore complex through which T-DNA export occurs. The VirB10 protein is required for virulence and is a component of an aggregate associated with the membrane fraction of A. tumefaciens. Removal of the putative membrane-spanning domain (amino acids 22 through 55) disrupts the membrane topology of...
