Modulating quorum sensing by antiactivation: TraM interacts with TraR to inhibit activation of Ti plasmid conjugal transfer genes

Abstract
Conjugal transfer of the Ti plasmid pTiC58 is regulated by a quorum‐sensing system involving the transcriptional activator TraR and the acyl homoserine lactone autoinducer N‐(3‐oxo‐octanoyl)‐l‐homose...
