Competence in Streptococcus pneumoniae Is Regulated by the Rate of Ribosomal Decoding Errors

21 Sept 2011

Abstract excerpt

UNLABELLED: Competence for genetic transformation in Streptococcus pneumoniae develops in response to accumulation of a secreted peptide pheromone and was one of the initial examples of bacterial quorum sensing. Activation of this signaling system induces not only expression of the proteins required for transformation but also the production of cellular chaperones and proteases. We have shown here that activity...
