Control of gonococcal pilin-encoding gene expression in Escherichia coli.

Gene - 15 Jan 1993

Fyfe J A, Strugnell R A, Davies J K

Abstract excerpt

The pilE gene from Neisseria gonorrhoeae, unlike other type-4 pilin-encoding genes, is well expressed in Escherichia coli. Two putative promoters have been implicated in the transcription of this gene. Besides the -24/-12 promoter used to transcribe type-4 pilin-encoding genes in most species, the consensus sequence for a conventional promoter is also present. The two promoters overlap and would have almost...
