General Information

General Information Comment Organism
physiological function dual role for phase variation of the enzyme as a limiter of phage spread and a regulator of a gene expression. The underlying mechanism of action for the alteration in gene expression is not known and does not appear to involve differential methylation of specific recognition sites by Cj0031. Phase variation of Cj0031, as detected during infections in chickens and mice, produces changes in expression of multiple genes that may lead to phenotypic variation and generation of highly differentiated variants with differing capabilities of adaptation to diverse niches Campylobacter jejuni
