Functional and Topological Characterization of Novel Components of the comB DNA Transformation Competence System in Helicobacter pylori
20 Jan 2006
Abstract excerpt
Helicobacter pylori is one of the most diverse bacterial species known. A rational basis for this genetic variation may be provided by its natural competence for genetic transformation and high-frequency recombination. Many bacterial competence systems have homology with proteins that are involved in the assembly of type IV pili and type II secretion systems. In H. pylori, DNA uptake relies on a transport system...
