Abstract excerpt
expression. The SIP signaling pathway includes peptide secretion, reimportation into the cytosol, and interaction with the intracellular global gene regulator Regulator of Protease B (RopB), resulting in SIP-dependent modulation of DNA binding and regulatory activity of RopB. Notably, SIP signaling causes differential expression of ∼14% of GAS core genes. Several genes that encode toxins and other virulence genes...
