[Genetic regulation of plasmid transfer in gram-negative bacteria].
The data are reviewed on the genetic structure and regulation of tra-genes activity controlling the conjugative transfer of F, F-like plasmids as well as the transfer of some other bacterial plasmids. The effect of the systems inhibiting the conjugational transfer (fin-systems) of F and a number of derepressed F-like plasmids has been characterized on the basis of data obtained by the authors or published data. Possible mechanisms for the systems functioning in the regulation of tra-genes activity are discussed as well as the prospects of their further study.
