Polar positioning of a conjugation protein from the integrative and conjugative element ICEBs1 of Bacillus subtilis

Polar positioning of a conjugation protein from the integrative and conjugative element ICEBs1 of Bacillus subtilis

ICEBs1 is an integrative and conjugative element found in the chromosome of Bacillus subtilis. ICEBs1 encodes functions needed for its excision and transfer to recipient cells. We found that the ICEBs1 gene conE (formerly yddE) is required for conjugation and that conjugative transfer of ICEBs1 requ...
