Abstract

The entire nucleotide sequence of the first DNA segment of the conjugative F plasmid to enter the recipient cell, the leading region, is described. Analysis of the sequence provides further evidence that products encoded within the 13.2-kb leading region are likely to be expressed and perform functions associated with the transferred strand in the recipient cell.
