Mobilization of Plasmids and Chromosomal DNA Mediated by the SXT Element, a Constin Found in Vibrio cholerae O139
TL;DR: SXT element-mediated mobilization of plasmids and chromosomal DNA, unlike its self-transfer, is not dependent upon excision of the element from the chromosome, raising the possibility that the SXT element and other constins play a general role in horizontal gene transfer among gram-negative bacteria.

SXT-related integrating conjugative element in New World Vibrio cholerae.
TL;DR: In this paper, an integrating conjugative element (ICE) was identified in a Mexican environmental Vibrio cholerae isolate, which represents the first description of an SXT-related ICE in the Western Hemisphere.

Carlos R. Osorio,Carlos R. Osorio,Joeli Marrero,Rachel A. F. Wozniak,Rachel A. F. Wozniak,Manuel L. Lemos,Vincent Burrus,Matthew K. Waldor,Matthew K. Waldor,Matthew K. Waldor +9 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors carried out genomic and functional analyses of an SXT-related ICE derived from a Spanish isolate of Photobacterium damselae subsp. piscicida, the causative agent of fish pasteurellosis.

Interactions between Inner Membrane Proteins in Donor and Recipient Cells Limit Conjugal DNA Transfer
Joeli Marrero,Matthew K. Waldor +1 more
TL;DR: It is suggested that direct interactions between TraG and Eex, ICE-encoded inner membrane proteins in donor and recipient cells, respectively, mediate exclusion, and short sequences within each variant that determine the exquisite specificity of self-recognition are identified.

The SXT/R391 Family of Integrative Conjugative Elements Is Composed of Two Exclusion Groups
Joeli Marrero,Matthew K. Waldor +1 more
TL;DR: This is the most comprehensive study to date of the diversity of exclusion determinants within a single family of conjugative elements and indicates that there are only two exclusion groups among the diverse members of the SXT/R391 family of integrative conjugatives.
