The mechanism by which TrwB acts as a DNA transporter in bacterial conjugation is analyzed. Based on a parallelism between TrwB and F(1)-ATPase, TrwB would use the energy derived from ATP hydrolysis to pump DNA through its central channel, in a manner similar to that used by F(1)-ATPase to produce a rotary movement of the central gamma-subunit.
分析了TrwB在细菌接合中作为DNA转运蛋白的作用机制。基于TrwB与F₁-ATP酶之间的相似性,TrwB会利用ATP水解产生的能量通过其中心通道泵送DNA,其方式类似于F₁-ATP酶使中心γ亚基产生旋转运动的方式。
