PROMOTERS FOR INCREASED PROTEIN EXPRESSION IN MENINGOCOCCUS

New promoters are described to drive transcription in meningococcus e.g. for over-expression of protein antigens for retention in membrane vesicles. Modified porA promoters lack the wild-type poly-G sequence which can cause phase variation. Meningococcal rRNA-coding genes (e.g. for 16S rRNA) can be...

Zusammenfassung:New promoters are described to drive transcription in meningococcus e.g. for over-expression of protein antigens for retention in membrane vesicles. Modified porA promoters lack the wild-type poly-G sequence which can cause phase variation. Meningococcal rRNA-coding genes (e.g. for 16S rRNA) can be used to drive transcription of a protein-coding gene. These approaches can be used in combination.
