Genetic diversity of the streptococcal competence (com) gene locus.

Journal of bacteriology - 1 May 1999

Whatmore A M, Barcus V A, Dowson C G

Abstract excerpt

The com operon of naturally transformable streptococcal species contains three genes, comC, comD, and comE, involved in the regulation of competence. The comC gene encodes a competence-stimulating peptide (CSP) thought to induce competence in the bacterial population at a critical extracellular concentration. The comD and comE genes are believed to encode the transmembrane histidine kinase and response regulator...
