Description
OriTf (Origin of Transfer for the F-type conjugative plasmid) is the nic region, is where the relaxosome nicks the plasmid and conjugative transfer by F plasmid machinery begins via rolling circle replication.
This particular plasmid has been derived from a F-type plasmid donated by Professor Laura Frost University of Alberta.
NOTE: OriTf is NOT the same as the host cell's native Origin of Transfer (this is a separate site within the bacterial host's main genome).
