The pilE gene of Neisseria gonorrhoeae MS11 is transcribed from a sigma 70 promoter during growth in vitro.

Type 4 pili are essential for virulence in Neisseria gonorrhoeae. The gonococcal pilin subunit is encoded by pilE, upstream of which three putative promoter sequences (P1, P2, and P3) have been identified. P1 and P2 are sigma 70-like promoters and are functional when a PpiE::cat transcriptional fusi...
