Peptide permeases modulate transformation in Streptococcus pneumoniae.

Molecular microbiology - 1 Jun 1994

Pearce B J, Naughton A M, Masure H R

Abstract excerpt

To identify elements participating in the process of transformation, a bank of genetically altered mutants of Streptococcus pneumoniae with defects in exported proteins was assessed for a decrease in transformation efficiency. One mutant consistently transformed 10-fold less than the parent strain. Sequence analysis and reconstitution of the altered locus revealed a gene, plpA (permease-like protein), which...
