RRNPP quorum-sensing repertoires in the salivarius group genomes: overrepresentation and synchronous activation of SHP/Rgg systems in Streptococcus thermophilus
26 Aug 2025
Abstract excerpt
ABSTRACT In Bacillota, quorum sensing can be mediated by RRNPP regulators that are activated by autoinducing peptides (AIPs). In this study, we derived a hidden Markov model profile from a 3D-informed alignment to establish RRNPP repertoires for 527 genomes of streptococci in the salivarius group and identified probable AIPs. The salivarius group encompasses Streptococcus salivarius and Streptococcus vestibularis...
