Characterization of a ComE3 Homologue Essential for DNA Transformation in Helicobacter pylori
21 Aug 2003
Abstract excerpt
To find genes involved in natural competence in Helicobacter pylori, we used a bioinformatics database search and found two transformation-related open reading frames (ORFs): a comE3 homologue (HP1361 ORF) of Bacillus subtilis and a comL homologue (HP1378 ORF) of Neisseria gonorrhoeae. We failed to obtain an HP1378 ORF knockout mutant, while an HP1361 ORF knockout mutant was obtained by transposon shuttle...
