The RofA binding site in Streptococcus pyogenes is utilized in multiple transcriptional pathways.

Abstract excerpt

Understanding the regulation of adhesins defines a pathogenic bacterium's interaction with the local environment within the host. In certain strains of Streptococcus pyogenes, transcription of prtF, the gene which encodes the fibronectin-binding adhesin protein F, is activated by RofA under anaerobic conditions. RofA binds specifically to DNA in its target promoters and autoregulates its own expression. In this...
