CapA, an Autotransporter Protein of<i>Campylobacter jejuni</i>, Mediates Association with Human Epithelial Cells and Colonization of the Chicken Gut
16 Dec 2006
Abstract excerpt
Two putative autotransporter proteins, CapA and CapB, were identified in silico from the genome sequence of Campylobacter jejuni NCTC11168. The genes encoding each protein contain homopolymeric tracts, suggestive of phase variation mediated by a slipped-strand mispairing mechanism; in each case the gene sequence contained frameshifts at these positions. The C-terminal two-thirds of the two genes, as well as a...
