| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
ATPase activity on the FtsK domain of TraB was essential for the conjugative transfer. All mutations within Walker type domains except T277S abolished the ATPase activity and conjugation. TraB showed specific binding to TraA. Disorder of TraB expression led the decreasing of transfer efficiency. Chromosomal Mobilization Activity (CMA ) between S. lividans strains was extremely enhanced by genomic insertion of the pSN22 tra genes. Deletion of traB or clt (cis-acting locus of transfer) abolished the CMA activity, and deletion of traA decreased the CMA efficiency. Genomic insertion of clt and trans supplying of the tra gene products also enhanced the CMA. Genome insertion of the tra genes also enhanced hetero genomic recombination suggesting that this phenomena would be useful for the next generation genome engineering .
