Unique regulation of SclB - a novel collagen-like surface protein of Streptococcus pyogenes.

Molecular microbiology - 1 Jun 2001

Rasmussen M, Björck L

Abstract excerpt

Slipped-strand mispairing at sites containing so-called coding repeats (CRs) can lead to phase variation of surface proteins in Gram-negative bacteria. This mechanism, believed to contribute to virulence, has so far not been identified in a Gram-positive bacterium. In the genome of the Gram-positive human pathogen Streptococcus pyogenes, we identified pentanucleotide CRs within a putative signal sequence of an...
