Bacterial conjugation is the process by which a single strand of a conjugative plasmid is transferred from donor to recipient. For F plasmid, TraI, a relaxase or nickase, binds a single plasmid DNA strand at its specific origin of transfer (oriT) binding site,sbi, and cleaves at a site callednic. In vitro studies suggest TraI is recruited tosbiby its accessory proteins, TraY and integration host factor (IHF). TraY and IHF bind conservedoriTsitessbyAandihfA, respectively, and bend DNA. The resulting conformational changes may propagate tonic, generating the single-stranded region that TraI can bind. Previous deletion studies performed by others showed transfer efficiency of a plasmid containing ForiTdecreased progressively as increasingly longer segments, ultimately containing bothsbyAandihfA, were deleted. Here we describe our efforts to more precisely define the role ofsbyAandihfAby examining the effects of multiple base substitutions atsbyAandihfAon binding and plasmid mobilization. While we observed significant decreases in in vitro DNA-binding affinities, we saw little effect on plasmid mobilization even whensbyAandihfAvariants were combined. In contrast, when half or full helical turns were inserted between the relaxosome protein-binding sites, mobilization was dramatically reduced, in some cases below the detectable limit of the assay. These results are consistent with TraY and IHF recognizingsbyAandihfAwith limited sequence specificity and with relaxosome proteins requiring proper spacing and orientation with respect to each other.
