Broad Conditions Favor the Evolution of Phase-Variable Loci [PDF]

, 2016
Simple sequence repeat (SSR) tracts produce stochastic on-off switching, or phase variation, in the expression of a panoply of surface molecules in many bacterial commensals and pathogens.

Kinetic, Catalytic and Epigenetic Properties of HpyAXVII DNA Methyltransferase – a Phasevarion in the Human Pathogen Helicobacter pylori

, 2019
Helicobacter pylori is the leading cause of gastric cancer in human beings. It is a helix-shaped, Gram-negative, motile bacteria that colonizes the gastric mucosa and eventually the gastric epithelium. It has an overabundance of Restriction-Modification (

A novel epigenetic regulator associated with the hypervirulent Neisseria meningitidis clonal complex 41/44

, 2011
Neisseria meningitidis is a major cause of septicemia and meningitis. The hypervirulent clonal complex 41/44 (cc41/44) has emerged as the predominant cause of serogroup B meningococcal disease, having been responsible for recent outbreaks and epidemics ...

Discovery Projects - Grant ID: DP180100976

Phase-variable epigenetic regulators in bacterial veterinary pathogens. This project aims to identify phasevarion regulated genes in the major bacterial swine pathogens Streptococcus suis and Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae. Both species contain randomly

Phasevarions of pathogenic Neisseria

Certain bacterial DNA repeats are prone to hyper mutation. Genes with these repeats, Contingency genes, are randomly switched on and off. This process, phase variation , generates diversity in a population.
