The atlA operon of Streptococcus mutans: role in autolysin maturation and cell surface biogenesis.

Journal of bacteriology - 1 Oct 2006

Ahn Sang-Joon, Burne Robert A

Abstract excerpt

The Smu0630 protein (AtlA) was recently shown to be involved in cell separation, biofilm formation, and autolysis. Here, transcriptional studies revealed that atlA is part of a multigene operon under the control of at least three promoters. The morphology and biofilm-forming capacity of a nonpolar altA mutant could be restored to that of the wild-type strain by adding purified AtlA protein to the medium. A series...
