The F plasmid belongs to F-like plasmids, a class of conjugative plasmids that control sexual functions of bacteria with a fertility inhibition (Fin) system. Discovery · Structure · Relation to the genome · Function

As conjugative plasmids, F-like plasmids carry genetic modules enabling plasmid replication, stable maintenance, and DNA transfer.

The F-plasmid is a member of a group of conjugative plasmids that use the fertility inhibition (Fin) system to regulate bacterial sexual behaviour.

The F factor is a 100-kb conjugative plasmid. The tra operon encodes functions required for conjugative transfer of the F factor.
