Nested DNA inversion of Campylobacter fetus S-layer genes is recA dependent.

Journal of bacteriology - 1 Dec 1997

Dworkin J, Shedd O L, Blaser M J

Abstract excerpt

Wild-type strains of Campylobacter fetus are covered by a monomolecular array of surface layer proteins (SLPs) critical for virulence. Each cell possesses eight SLP gene cassettes, tightly clustered in the genome, that encode SLPs of 97 to 149 kDa. Variation of SLP expression occurs by a mechanism of nested DNA rearrangement that involves the inversion of a 6.2-kb sapA promoter-containing element alone or...
