Abstract excerpt
The second messenger cyclic di-AMP (c-di-AMP) controls biofilm formation, stress response, and virulence in Streptococcus pyogenes The deletion of the c-di-AMP synthase gene, dacA, results in pleiotropic effects including reduced expression of the secreted protease SpeB. Here, we report a role for K+ transport in c-di-AMP-mediated SpeB expression. The deletion of ktrB in the ΔdacA mutant restores SpeB expression....
