The transfer defect of some ColE1 mutants is complemented by ColE1 or ColK, but not by ColE2. This implies that at least one ColE1-specified protein or RNA is normally needed for ColE1 conjugal transfer. The gene(s) postulated for this function lies within a region whose length is at most 50% of the genome.
一些ColE1突变体的转移缺陷可被ColE1或ColK互补,但不能被ColE2互补。这意味着ColE1接合转移通常至少需要一种由ColE1指定的蛋白质或RNA。推测具有此功能的基因位于一个长度至多为基因组50%的区域内。
