SMOX and infection: Most of the pAO1 ORFs involved in plasmid function, such as the ORFs involved in replication (CDS_28 and CDS_120), partitioning (PAR_1 and CDS_9), maintenance (CDS_21 and CDS_22), conjugation (CDS_5, CDS_6, CDS_83, and CDS_92), stress response (CDS_7), abortive infection phage resistance (CDS_118), cell-cell contact (CDS_18), and cell signaling (CDS_113), and many predicted membrane proteins that may participate in conjugation (CDS_8, CDS_14, CDS_30, CDS_31, CDS_84, CDS_85, CDS_86, CDS_87, CDS_88, CDS_89, CDS_90, CDS_91, and CDS_114), were not found in the M2012083 genome (DataSet3)37, 38.
