Structure and mechanism of DNA delivery of a gene transfer agent
Gene transfer agents (GTAs) are phage-like particles that mediate lateral gene exchange. Here, the authors provide the structure of the GTA of Rhodobacter capsulatus (RcGTA), which resembles a tailed phage, and describe the conformational changes required for DNA ejection.
