We have determined the nucleotide sequence of an expressed structural pilus gene (pilE) derived from Neisseria gonorrhoeae strain P9-2. Detailed analysis of nucleotide sequences upstream from pilE revealed a silent, truncated pilin gene segment that was linked to families of DNA elements (RS1 and RS3) that have previously been identified at the major silent pilin gene locus (pilS1) and at pilE of the independently isolated N. gonorrhoeae strain MS11ms. A nucleotide sequence downstream from pilE was reminiscent of the recognition sequences of several recombinases, including Tn3 tnpR product (resolvase), suggesting a possible role for site-specific events in the recombinational modulation of pilus expression.
