The Haemophilus influenzae sxy-1 mutation is in a newly identified gene essential for competence.

Journal of bacteriology - 1 Nov 1994

Williams P M, Bannister L A, Redfield R J

Abstract excerpt

The sxy-1 mutation of Haemophilus influenzae causes a 100- to 1,000-fold increase in spontaneous natural competence. We have used mapping and sequencing to identify this mutation as a G-to-A transition in an open reading frame adjacent to the rec-1 locus. This mutation substitutes valine for isoleucine at amino acid 19 of the protein specified by this gene (now named sxy). A multicopy plasmid containing the...
