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, th...
