Characterization of cis- Acting Sites Controlling Arginine Deiminase Gene Expression in Streptococcus gordonii
20 Jan 2006
Abstract excerpt
The arginine deiminase system (ADS) is responsible for the production of ornithine, CO2, ammonia, and ATP from arginine. The ADS of the oral bacterium Streptococcus gordonii plays major roles in physiologic homeostasis, acid tolerance, and oral biofilm ecology. To further our understanding of the transcriptional regulation of the ADS (arc) operon, the binding of the ArcR transcriptional activator, which governs...
