Abstract

Abstract

En 中文
• TrbM from RP4 resembles conjugative bacterial adhesins • TrbM homologs from R751, R388, and pKM101 can complement Δ RP4-trbM mutants • R6K TivB12 does not restore RP4 conjugation or killing • The predicted TrbM domain remains functional after repositioning inside homologs
