Abstract excerpt
INTRODUCTION: To clarify the role that prolipoprotein diacylglyceryl transferase (Lgt) and lipoprotein-specific signal peptidase II (LspA) play in the physiological function of MsmE, we constructed lgt-deficient and lspA-deficient mutants of Streptococcus mutans 109c and examined the potential role of Lgt and LspA in membrane anchoring and growth in a melibiose medium of S. mutans. METHODS: The lgt-, lspA-, and...
