Regulation of Arginine Acquisition and Virulence Gene Expression in the Human Pathogen Streptococcus pneumoniae by Transcription Regulators ArgR1 and AhrC
15 Nov 2011
Abstract excerpt
In this study, we investigated for the first time the transcriptional response of the human pathogen Streptococcus pneumoniae to fluctuating concentrations of arginine, an essential amino acid for this bacterium. By means of DNA microarray analyses, several operons and genes were found, the expression of which was affected by the concentration of arginine in the medium. Five of the identified operons were...
