RpoN and the Nps and Npa two‐component regulatory system control pilE transcription in commensal Neisseria

Abstract Over 20 genes are involved in the biogenesis and function of the Neisseria Type IV pilus (Tfp). In the pathogenic species, RpoD and the integration host factor (IHF) protein regulate expression of pilE, encoding the Tfp structural subunit. We previously reported that in commensal species, p...
