Cis‐acting DNA elements flanking the variable major protein expression site of Borrelia hermsii are required for murine persistence

In Borrelia hermsii, antigenic variation occurs as a result of a nonreciprocal gene conversion event that places one of ~60 silent variable major protein genes downstream of a single, transcriptionally active promoter. The upstream homology sequence (UHS) and downstream homology sequence (DHS) are t...
