A LuxRI-family regulatory system controls excision and transfer of the Mesorhizobium loti strain R7A symbiosis island by activating expression of two conserved hypothetical genes
The symbiosis island ICEM/SymR7A of Mesorhizobium loti R7A is an integrative and conjugative element (ICE) that carries genes required for a nitrogen-fixing symbiosis with Lotus species. ICEM/SymR7A encodes homologues (TraR, Trad and Tral2) of proteins that regulate plasmid transfer by quorum sensin...
