Type: | Family | Name: | Ti-type conjugative transfer relaxase TraA |
Description: | This entry represents the Ti-type conjugative transfer relaxase TraA. TraA contains domains distinctive of a single strand exonuclease (N terminus, MobA/MobL, ) as well as a helicase domain (central region, homologous to the corresponding region of the F-type relaxase TraI, ). This protein likely fills the same role as TraI(F), nicking (at the oriT site) and unwinding the coiled plasmid prior to conjugative transfer []. | Short Name: | TraA_Ti |
