| Short Name | Conjugal_tfr_TrbL/VirB6 |
| description | VirB proteins are suggested to act at the bacterial surface and there play an important role in directing t-DNA transfer to plant cells. VirB6 from Agrobacterium tumefaciens is an essential component of the type IV secretion machinery for T pilus formation and genetic transformation of plants. Absence of VirB6 leads to reduced cellular levels of VirB5 and VirB3, which were proposed to assist T pilus formation as minor component(s) or assembly factor(s), respectively [, ]. |
