Plasmid transfer and expression of the transfer (<i>tra</i>) gene product of plasmid pIJ101 are temporally regulated during the <i>Streptomyces lividans</i> life cycle

Abstract excerpt

We previously have shown that a chromosomally integrated copy of the tra gene of plasmid pIJ101 under the control of the KorA repressor protein, which regulates transcription of tra as well as its own synthesis, can promote the conjugal transfer of both chromosomal and plasmid genes in Streptomyces lividans. Using an antibody generated against a fusion protein containing the C-terminal portion of Tra, we show...
