Phasevarion mediated epigenetic gene regulation in Helicobacter pylori.

Phasevarion mediated epigenetic gene regulation in Helicobacter pylori.

Many host-adapted bacterial pathogens contain DNA methyltransferases (mod genes) that are subject to phase-variable expression (high-frequency reversible ON/OFF switching of gene expression). In Haemophilus influenzae and pathogenic Neisseria, the random switching of the modA gene, associated with a...
