Abstract excerpt
The IncN plasmid pKM101 contains a group of 11 genes thought to be required for the synthesis of its conjugal pilus and mating pore. Within this region are two genes, kilA and kilB, either of which is conditionally lethal to the cell. kilA was previously shown to be allelic with traL, and we now show that kilB is allelic with traE. In the same region, genetic studies previously defined two loci, korA and korB...
