Identification in Listeria monocytogenes of MecA, a homologue of the Bacillus subtilis competence regulatory protein.

Journal of bacteriology - 1 Oct 2000

Borezee E, Msadek T, Durant L, Berche P

Abstract excerpt

We identified in Listeria monocytogenes a gene encoding a protein homologous to MecA, a regulatory protein acting with ClpC and ComK in the competence pathway of Bacillus subtilis. In L. monocytogenes, MecA is involved, along with ClpC and ClpP, in the downregulation of a 64-kDa secreted protein. In B. subtilis, the MecA protein of L. monocytogenes behaves as a regulatory protein, controlling the transcription of...
