ComX is a unique link between multiple quorum sensing outputs and competence in <i>Streptococcus pneumoniae</i>

12 Sept 2003

Abstract excerpt

Natural competence for genetic transformation in Streptococcus pneumoniae is achieved directly by specific proteins that are involved in DNA uptake and chromosomal recombination, and is regulated indirectly by a quorum-sensing system encoded by two loci, comAB and comCDE. The alternative sigma factor, ComX, is thought to be the unique link between quorum sensing and competence-specific genes. To test this...
