Transcriptional antitermination integrates the expression of loci of diverse phage origin in the chimeric <i>Bartonella</i> Gene Transfer Agent BaGTA
2024-11-20
Abstract excerpt
Gene Transfer Agents (GTAs) are mobile genetic elements derived from bacteriophages that mediate genome-wide horizontal gene transfer (HGT) in diverse groups of prokaryotes. BaGTA, encoded by all the pathogens of the genus Bartonella , is a chimeric GTA that evolved by the domestication of two phages. The run-off-replication module ROR of one phage is integrated with the capsid production, DNA packaging and lysis...
