DprA recruits ComM to facilitate recombination during natural transformation in Gram-negative bacteria

Triana N. Dalia, Mérick Machouri, Céline Lacrouts, Yoann Fauconnet, Raphaël Guérois, Jessica Andréani, Juan Pablo Radicella, Ankur B. Dalia

This study identifies a protein-protein interaction between ComM and DprA that is critical for DprA to recruit ComM to promote recombination during natural transformation in Gram-negative bacteria.
