Sequential action of factors involved in natural competence for transformation of Neisseria gonorrhoeae.

FEMS microbiology letters - 1 Apr 1996

Facius D, Fussenegger M, Meyer T F

Abstract excerpt

We previously identified and genetically characterized several factors essential for the natural competence of transformation in Neisseria gonorrhoeae. Here we analyse the sequential action of these factors and dissect the overall transformation process into three distinct steps, (i) the sequence-specific uptake of transforming DNA into a DNase-resistant state, (ii) the transfer of DNA to the cytosol and (iii)...
