Streptococcus parasanguis pepO encodes an endopeptidase with structure and activity similar to those of enzymes that modulate peptide receptor signaling in eukaryotic cells.

Abstract excerpt

Studies in our laboratory have identified two fimbria-associated adhesins, FimA and Fap1, of Streptococcus parasanguis FW213. In this study, we isolated and sequenced DNA fragments linked to fimA to determine if they contained additional factors associated with adherence, virulence, or survival in the host. An open reading frame just upstream and divergently transcribed from the fimA operon was identified and...
