A conserved DNA sequence is required for efficient gonococcal pilin antigenic variation

1 Jul 1994

Abstract excerpt

Antigenic variation of the Neisseria gonorrhoeae pilus occurs when a variant pilin sequence from a silent locus recombines into the expression locus by predominantly unidirectional, homologous recombination. At the 3' end of all pilin loci lies a conserved DNA sequence, called the Sma/Cla repeat, which has sequence similarity to several recombinase-binding sites, and therefore may be involved in pilin...
