Nucleoside Binding by a Surface Lipoprotein Governs Conjugative ICE Acquisition in Ruminant Mycoplasmas

2025-09-22

Abstract excerpt

<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> Integrative and conjugative elements (ICEs) are major mediators of horizontal gene transfer (HGT) in bacteria. However, the role of recipient cells in their acquisition has received little attention. Using the ruminant pathogens Mycoplasma agalactiae and Mycoplasma bovis as minimal models, we combined genome-wide transposon mutagenesis with high-throughput mating assays to identify recipient f...
