Enterococcal plasmid transfer: sex pheromones, transfer origins, relaxases, and the Staphylococcus aureus issue.

Plasmid - 1 Nov 2002

Clewell Don B, Francia M Victoria, Flannagan Susan E, An Florence Y

Abstract excerpt

Certain conjugative plasmids in Enterococcus faecalis encode a mating response to peptide sex pheromones encoded on the chromosome of potential recipient (plasmid-free) strains. The pheromone precursors correspond to the precursors of surface lipoproteins with the mature peptides coming from the last 7-8 residues of the related signal sequences. Processing that gives rise to the pAD1-related peptide involves a...
