Identification and characterization of a direct activator of a gene transfer agent

Gene transfer agents (GTAs) are ‘domesticated’ bacteriophages that can transfer any genes between bacteria. Here, Paul Fogg identifies a protein that directly regulates transcription of GTA genes and whose expression is in turn controlled by a global cell-cycle regulator and a quorum-sensing regulat...

Sumario:Gene transfer agents (GTAs) are ‘domesticated’ bacteriophages that can transfer any genes between bacteria. Here, Paul Fogg identifies a protein that directly regulates transcription of GTA genes and whose expression is in turn controlled by a global cell-cycle regulator and a quorum-sensing regulator.
