Conservation and diversity of sap homologues and their organization among Campylobacter fetus isolates.

Infection and immunity - 1 Mar 2004

Tu Zheng-Chao, Hui John, Blaser Martin J

Abstract excerpt

Campylobacter fetus surface layer proteins (SLPs), encoded by sapA homologues, are important in virulence. In wild-type C. fetus strain 23D, all eight sapA homologues are located in the 54-kb sap island, and SLP expression reflects the position of a unique sapA promoter in relation to the sapA homologues. The extensive homologies in the sap island include both direct and inverted repeats, which allow DNA...
