NameF-type conjugation system
TypeMETAPATH
DescriptionF-type plasmid conjugation systems are those distinctive of the F-plasmid first described in E.coli. This system consists of a type-IV pilus specialized for plasmid DNA transduction as well as specialized machinery for mating-type recognition in the recipient cell and a relaxosome and coupling protein system for initiating and providing energy for the transfer. Two genomes properties, GenProp0484 and GenProp0485, encapsulate the F-type-specific and generic components repectively. The generic components are found in non-F-type conjugative systems such as the P and I-like systems. This parent property will match the state of the specific components property (GenProp0484) except in the following cases: when the specific property is YES and the generic property is less than YES, this property will assign the state, some evidence; when the specific property is assigned the state, none found, and the generic property is assigned a state greater than none found, this property will assign the state, not supported.
