An Alternative DNA Structure is Necessary for Pilin Antigenic Variation in Neisseria gonorrhoeae

Pathogens can utilize DNA recombination to promote antigenic variation of surface structures to avoid immune detection. We identified a cis-acting DNA sequence near the antigenically variable pilin locus of the human pathogen, Neisseria gonorrhoeae. This 16 base pair G-rich sequence was required for...
