Conjugation
The transfer of genetic material (Plasmid or transposons) between cells by direct cell to
cell contact
What are some traits that can be required through Conjugation?
Antibiotics Resistance, Heavy metal resistance, Pathogenicity islands (bacterial
virulence), Metabolic Proteins
What are the three most well known Gram-negative conjugation system?
F-Plasmid, RP4, Ti Plasmid
What are tra/trb
The conjugal transfer genes for conjugal transfer between prokaryotes
What is vir
The conjugal transfer genes for conjugal transfer between prokaryote and eukaryote
Type IV secretion system
-Mediates translocation of macromolecules across the cell envelopes of bacteria
-Conjugation Mpf system is a large subfamily of T4SS- translocation of DNA and
proteins
-T4SS can also function in the uptake of nucleic acids or proteins from the extracellular
environment
What are some extracellular stimulus for protein synthesis
