Expression and characterization of the peptidase domain of Streptococcus pneumoniae ComA, a bifunctional ATP-binding cassette transporter involved in quorum sensing pathway.

Abstract excerpt

ComA, a member of the bacteriocin ATP-binding cassette transporters, is postulated to be responsible for both the processing of the propeptide ComC and secretion of the mature competence-stimulating peptide, which regulates the competence and subsequent genetic transformation in Streptococcus pneumoniae. A recombinant N-terminal peptidase domain of ComA, designated PEP, was expressed as a soluble protein in...
