Abstract excerpt
A large cluster of virulence genes encoding proteins involved in Vibrio cholerae accessory colonization factor (ACF) expression and toxin-coregulated pilus (TCP) biogenesis is flanked by sequences that resemble bacteriophage attachment (att) half-sites. Adjacent to the attL-like site is a gene (int) that encodes a protein related to the integrase family of site-specific recombinases. The putative vibrio integrase...
