Molecular characterization of an operon required for pertussis toxin secretion.

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America - 1 Apr 1993

Weiss A A, Johnson F D, Burns D L

Abstract excerpt

Mutants of Bordetella pertussis which are defective in secretion of pertussis toxin were isolated and characterized. The region of the B. pertussis chromosome identified by mutagenesis as playing a role in transport of pertussis toxin was sequenced. Analysis of this region revealed eight open rea...
