Juxtaposition of expressed variable antigen genes with a conserved telomere in the bacterium Borrelia hermsii.
Borrelia hermsii, an agent of relapsing fever, survives in mammals through antigenic variation. Change in serotype-specific variable outer membrane proteins (Vmps) occurs when a Vmp gene at an expression site is replaced with a previously silent gene for another Vmp. Silent and active genes are on s...
