A Quorum Sensing-Regulated Protein Binds Cell Wall Components and Enhances Lysozyme Resistance in Streptococcus pyogenes
16 Mar 2018
Abstract excerpt
ABSTRACT The Rgg2/3 quorum sensing (QS) system is conserved among all sequenced isolates of group A Streptococcus (GAS; Streptococcus pyogenes ). The molecular architecture of the system consists of a transcriptional activator (Rgg2) and a transcriptional repressor (Rgg3) under the control of autoinducing peptide pheromones (SHP2 and SHP3). Activation of the Rgg2/3 pathway leads to increases in biofilm formation...
