The genetic locations oftraO, finPandtra-4 on theE. coliK12 sex factor F

Abstract
SUMMARY: Using a series of Hfr and F prime deletion strains, the F transfer inhibition genefinPhas been mapped betweenoriandtraJ. Marker rescue experiments with the Hfr deletion strains further showed thattraO, the site of action of the transfer inhibitor, is located immediately to the left of, or possibly within,traJ, and that the polar mutationtra-4lies intraK.
