- We have determined the nucleotide sequence of an expressed structural pilus gene ( pilE) derived from Neisseria gonorrhoeae strain P9-2. Detailed analysis of nucleotide sequences upstream from pilE revealed a silent, truncated pilin gene segment that was linked to families of DNA elements (RS1 and RS3) that have previously been identified at the major silent pilin gene locus ( pilS1) and at pilE of the independently isolated N. gonorrhoeae strain MS11 ms. A nucleotide sequence downstream from pilE was reminiscent of the recognition sequences of several recombinases, including Tn3 tnpR product (resolvase), suggesting a possible role for site-specific events in the recombinational modulation of pilus expression.
