The two common pathogenic mutations in ND6 (Met64 → Val and Ala72 → Val) lead to a less severe and a very severe form of LHON, respectively [ 12].
These two observations taken together suggest the possibility that the IgG2a PG-specific autoantibodies elicit a pathogenic effect through an Fc-receptor-mediated mechanism.
A homolog of H-rev107 is detectable in the pathogenic bacterium V. cholerae , and phylogenetic analysis suggests that it has been acquired through lateral transfer from a vertebrate source.
Comparative genomic analysis and cloning expression showed that the length of the polyG tract of pmpG 10 varies between strains and within an isolate [ 12 13 ] . Furthermore, variation of the length of polyG has been demonstrated that it plays a role in the differential expression of PmpG 10 [ 12 ] . Variability in short nucleotide repeats generated via slipped strand mispairing are key elements in the generation of phenotypic diversity within many pathogenic microorganisms [ 18 ] . Further investigation will be required to determine if the expression of members of the Cpn 1054 gene family is affected by the observed variability in length of the polyC tract.
Although this hypothesis focuses on archaea and E. coli , the model of distant gene transfer as a major contributor of "new" virulence genes to pathogens or potential pathogens has broad applicability to a large number of pathogenic systems.
