Abstract excerpt
PRD1, a lipid-containing double-stranded DNA bacteriophage, uses the mating pair formation (Mpf) complex encoded by conjugative IncP plasmids as a receptor. Functions responsible for conjugative transfer of IncP plasmids are encoded by two distinct regions, Tra1 and Tra2. Ten Tra2 region gene products (TrbB to TrbL) and one from the Tra1 region (TraF) form the Mpf complex. We carried out a mutational analysis of...
