CelR-mediated activation of the cellobiose-utilization gene cluster in Streptococcus pneumoniae
22 Jul 2011
Abstract excerpt
The human pathogen Streptococcus pneumoniae harbours many genes encoding phosphotransferase systems and sugar ABC (ATP-binding cassette) transporters, including systems for the utilization of the β-glucoside sugar cellobiose. In this study, we show that the transcriptional regulator CelR, which has previously been found to be important for pneumococcal virulence, activates the expression of the...
