Impact of orthologous gene replacement on the circuitry governing pilus gene transcription in streptococci.

Impact of orthologous gene replacement on the circuitry governing pilus gene transcription in streptococci.

The evolutionary history of several genes of the bacterial pathogen Streptococcus pyogenes strongly suggests an origin in another species, acquired via replacement of the counterpart gene (ortholog) following a recombination event. An example of orthologous gene replacement is provided by the nra/ro...
