Campylobacter fetus Uses Multiple Loci for DNA Inversion within the 5′ Conserved Regions of sap Homologs

Tu, Zheng-Chao, Ray, Kevin C., Thompson, Stuart A., Blaser, Martin J.

Campylobacter fetus cells possess multiple promoterless sap homologs, each capable of expressing a surface layer protein (SLP) by utilizing a unique promoter present on a 6.2-kb invertible element....

Campylobacter fetus sap Inversion Occurs in the Absence of RecA Function

Ray, Kevin C., Tu, Zheng-Chao, Grogono-Thomas, Rosemary, Newell, Diane G., Thompson, Stuart A., Blaser, Martin J.

Phase variation of Campylobacter fetus surface layer proteins (SLPs) occurs by inversion of a 6.2-kb DNA segment containing the unique sap promoter, permitting expression of a single SLP-encoding...

Campylobacter fetus Surface Layer Proteins Are Transported by a Type I Secretion System

Thompson, Stuart A., Shedd, Omer L., Ray, Kevin C., Beins, Michael H., Jorgensen, Jesse P., Blaser, Martin J.

The virulence of Campylobacter fetus, a bacterial pathogen of ungulates and humans, is mediated in part by the presence of a paracrystalline surface layer (S-layer) that confers serum resistance. The...
