Abstract excerpt
The cse gene of Streptococcus thermophilus encodes an extracytoplasmic protein involved in cell segregation. The Cse protein consists of two putative domains: a cell wall attachment LysM domain and a catalytic CHAP domain. These two domains are spaced by an interdomain linker, known as Var-Cse, previously reported to be highly divergent between two S. thermophilus strains. The aim of this study was to assess the...
