We have mapped two regions of the Neisseria gonorrheae genome, pilE1 and pilE2, which are involved in pilus expression. When the cells are in the piliated P+ state, these two loci carry sequences necessary for pilin production. A silent locus, pilS1, also maps near pilE1 and pilE2. pilS1 contains structural gene information but lacks pilus promoter sequences. The pilus gene sequences in pilE1 and pilE2 are identical in strain MS11.
我们已经绘制了淋病奈瑟菌基因组的两个区域,即pilE1和pilE2,它们与菌毛表达有关。当细胞处于菌毛化的P+状态时,这两个基因座携带菌毛蛋白产生所需的序列。一个沉默基因座pilS1也定位于pilE1和pilE2附近。pilS1包含结构基因信息,但缺乏菌毛启动子序列。在菌株MS11中,pilE1和pilE2中的菌毛基因序列是相同的。
