Repression of virulence genes by phosphorylation‐dependent oligomerization ofCsrR at target promoters in <i>S. pyogenes</i>
1 May 2001
Abstract excerpt
csrRS encodes a two-component regulatory system that represses the transcription of a number of virulence factors in Streptococcus pyogenes, including the hyaluronic acid capsule and pyrogenic exotoxin B. CsrRS-regulated virulence factors have diverse functions during pathogenesis and are differentially expressed throughout growth. This suggests that multiple signals induce CsrRS-mediated gene regulation, or that...
