Distinct Regulatory Role of Carbon Catabolite Protein A (CcpA) in Oral Streptococcal spxB Expression
24 Jan 2018
Abstract excerpt
ABSTRACT Pyruvate oxidase (SpxB)-dependent H 2 O 2 production is under the control of carbon catabolite protein A (CcpA) in the oral species Streptococcus sanguinis and Streptococcus gordonii . Interestingly, both species react differently to the presence of the preferred carbohydrate source glucose. S. gordonii CcpA-dependent regulation of spxB follows classical carbon catabolite repression. Conversely, spxB...
