| Function | The initiation process of transfer DNA synthesis requires the interaction of at least three plasmid-specific components (TraH, I, and J) at the transfer origin resulting in the assembly of a specialised nucleoprotein complex - the relaxosome. Site- and strand-specific cleavage at the transfer origin is dependent on TraI and TraJ. |
