The Tra2 core of the IncP(alpha) plasmid RP4 is required for intergeneric mating between Escherichia coli and Streptomyces lividans.

Escherichia coli cells and Streptomyces mycelia are able to form close contacts in the absence of a conjugative system which might facilitate intergeneric plasmid transfer without the genes required for mating pair formation (Tra2) of the RP4 plasmid. The same Tra2 genes found to be essential for RP...
