Robustness of Helicobacter pylori infection conferred by context-variable redundancy among cysteine-rich paralogs.

Robustness of Helicobacter pylori infection conferred by context-variable redundancy among cysteine-rich paralogs.

Deletion of single genes from expanded gene families in bacterial genomes often does not elicit a phenotype thus implying redundancy or functional non-essentiality of paralogous genes. The molecular mechanisms that facilitate evolutionary maintenance of such paralogs despite selective pressures agai...
