Function
RT-PCR analysis of the orf junctions confirmed that all nine orfs of comY operon were present in a single transcript, while real-time RT-PCR analysis demonstrated that these orfs were expressed at a level very similar to that of the first orf in the operon. Mutations were constructed in all nine putative orfs. The first seven genes (comYA-G) were found to be essential for natural competence, while comYH and comYI had reduced and normal natural competence ability, respectively.
