The stress-responsive dgk gene from Streptococcus mutans encodes a putative undecaprenol kinase activity.

Infection and immunity - 1 Apr 2003

Lis Maciej, Kuramitsu Howard K

Abstract excerpt

We analyzed a previously constructed stress-sensitive Streptococcus mutans mutant Tn-1 strain resulting from disruption by transposon Tn916 of a gene encoding a protein exhibiting amino acid sequence similarity to the Escherichia coli diacylglycerol kinase. It was confirmed that the mutation led to significantly reduced lipid kinase activity, while expression of the intact gene on a plasmid restored both kinase...
