A tripartite protein complex promotes DNA transport during natural transformation in firmicutes

2025-05-09

Abstract excerpt

Natural genetic transformation is a conserved mechanism of bacterial horizontal gene transfer, which is directed entirely by the recipient cell and facilitates the acquisition of new genetic traits such as antibiotic resistance. Transformation proceeds via the capture of exogenous DNA, its internalisation in single strand form (ssDNA) and its integration into the recipient chromosome by homologous recombination. W...
