Upstream short sequence repeats regulate expression of the alpha C protein of group B Streptococcus.

Molecular microbiology - 1 Nov 2003

Puopolo Karen M, Madoff Lawrence C

Abstract excerpt

Group B streptococci (GBS) express a family of repeat-containing surface proteins, the prototype of which is the alpha C protein expressed in type Ia/C strain A909. We have isolated a series of mutant GBS strains by mouse-passage of A909 that do not produce normal levels of the alpha C protein. Polymerase chain reaction amplification and sequencing of the gene encoding the alpha C protein, bca, from four mutant...
