VirD proteins of Agrobacterium tumefaciens are required for the formation of a covalent DNA--protein complex at the 5' terminus of T-strand molecules.

The T-DNA transfer process of Agrobacterium tumefaciens is activated by the induction of the Ti plasmid virulence (vir) loci by plant signal molecules such as acetosyringone. Upon initiation of the T-DNA transfer process, site-specific nicks occur at the 25-bp border sequences. This cleavage leads t...
