Proteolysis and its regulation at the surface of Streptococcus pyogenes
1 Feb 2002
Abstract excerpt
Pathogenic bacteria often produce proteinases that are believed to be involved in virulence. Moreover, several host defence systems depend on proteolysis, demonstrating that proteolysis and its regulation play an important role during bacterial infections. Here, we discuss how proteolytical events are regulated at the surface of Streptococcus pyogenes during infection with this important human pathogen....
