Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: We investigated the transcription of adhesin-encoding genes sabA, hopZ and labA in Helicobacter pylori strain J99. Each possesses a repeating homopolymeric nucleotide tract within their promoter regions, and sabA and hopZ possess repeats within their 5' coding regions. METHODOLOGY: We altered the repeat lengths associated with the adhesin genes and quantified mRNA levels by real-time quantitative PCR....
