Diversity of integrating conjugative elements in actinobacteria: Coexistence of two mechanistically different DNA-translocation systems

Conjugation is certainly the most widespread and promiscuous mechanism of horizontal gene transfer in bacteria. During conjugation, DNA translocation across membranes of two cells forming a mating pair is mediated by two types of mobile genetic elements: conjugative plasmids and integrating conjugat...
