Impact of Orthologous Gene Replacement on the Circuitry Governing Pilus Gene Transcription in Streptococci

BACKGROUND: 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 b...
