Protein Domain : TraM, DNA-binding domain IPR042073

Type  Homologous_superfamily
Description  This superfamily represents the TraM protein. TraM is a DNA-binding protein, encoded by plasmid DNA. TraM forms active tetramers to bridge the origin of transfer of the plasmid (oriT) to a TraD pore (a coupling protein) [ ]. As such, TraM is essential for conjugative transfer of DNA between bacteria.Structurally, the DNA binding domain of the TraM protein is globular and dominantly helical [ ].
