| Description | This entry represents type IV secretion system proteins TraG and VirD4. TraG-like proteins are potential NTP hydrolases (NTPases) that are essential for DNA transfer in bacterial conjugation. They are thought to mediate interactions between the DNA-processing (Dtr) and the mating pair formation (Mpf) systems [ , ]. TraG-like proteins also function as essential components of type IV secretion systems of several bacterial pathogens. TraG is essential for DNA transfer in bacterial conjugation []. Agrobacterium tumefaciens VirD4 is essential for DNA transfer to plants []. VirD has been shown to have topoisomerase activity in vitro[ ]. |
