摘要
The mechanism by which TrwB acts its it DNA transporter in bacterial conjugation is analyzed. Based on a parallelism between TrwB and F-1-ATPase, TrwB would use the energy derived from ATP hydrolysis to pump DNA through its central channel, in it manner similar to that used by F-1-ATPase to produce a rotary movement of the central gamma-subunit.
