Variation of Serine-Aspartate Repeats in Membrane Proteins Possibly Contributes to Staphylococcal Microevolution

Tandem repeats (either as microsatellites or minisatellites) in eukaryotic and prokaryotic organisms are mutation-prone DNA. While minisatellites in prokaryotic genomes are underrepresented, the cell surface adhesins of bacteria often contain the minisatellite SD repeats, encoding the amino acid pai...
