Role of pili and the phase-variable PilC protein in natural competence for transformation of Neisseria gonorrhoeae.

The Gram-negative bacterial pathogen Neisseria gonorrhoeae is naturally competent for transformation with species-related DNA. We show here that two phase-variable pilus-associated proteins, the major pilus subunit (pilin, or PilE) and PilC, a factor known to function in the assembly and adherence o...
