Function

Single-copy deletion of comE in N. gonorrhoeae did not have a measurable effect on competence, whereas serial deletions led to gradual decrease in transformation frequencies, reaching a 4 x 10(4)-fold reduction when all copies were deleted. Recombinant His-tagged ComE showed DNA binding activity, without any detectable sequence specificity.
