SOLUTION STRUCTURE OF THE DNA BINDING DOMAIN OF THE TRAM PROTEINSOLUTION STRUCTURE OF THE DNA BINDING DOMAIN OF THE TRAM PROTEIN
Structural highlights
1dp3 is a 1 chain structure with sequence from Escherichia coli. Full experimental information is available from OCA. For a guided tour on the structure components use FirstGlance.
TRAM2_ECOLX Conjugative DNA transfer (CDT) is the unidirectional transfer of ssDNA plasmid from a donor to a recipient cell. It is the central mechanism by which antibiotic resistance and virulence factors are propagated in bacterial populations. Part of the relaxosome, which facilitates a site- and strand-specific cut in the origin of transfer by TraI, at the nic site. Probably autoregulates its own expression. Plasmid specificity is conferred by the TraD-TraM pair (By similarity).
