Evolutionary and functional divergence of Sfx, a plasmid-encoded H-NS homolog, underlies the regulation of IncX plasmid conjugation
A. L. Wang, M. Cordova, W. W. Navarre
This study investigates Sfx, a plasmid-encoded H-NS homolog, showing it represses conjugation and evolves under positive selection to regulate IncX plasmid function.
