Involvement of genes of genome maintenance in the regulation of phase variation frequencies in Neisseria meningitidis.
In Neisseria meningitidis, the reversible expression of surface antigens, i.e. phase variation, results from changes within repeated simple sequence motifs located in coding or promoter regions of the genes involved in their biosynthesis. The mutation rates of these simple sequences, which have a ma...
