The product of the pilQ gene is essential for the biogenesis of type IV pili in Neisseria gonorrhoeae.

Molecular microbiology - 1 Dec 1995

Drake S L, Koomey M

Abstract excerpt

The product of the Neisseria gonorrhoeae omc gene possesses regions homologous to those found in members of a protein superfamily that are associated with the translocation of proteins and DNA-protein complexes across the outer membrane. Amongst its protein homologues, Omc has higher overall homology to PilQ, which is required for type IV pilus expression in Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and OrfE, which is required for...
