Identification of the streptococcal competence-pheromone receptor.

Molecular microbiology - 1 Aug 1996

Håvarstein L S, Gaustad P, Nes I F, Morrison D A

Abstract excerpt

Competence for genetic transformation in certain species of streptococci has been known for many years to be induced by a secreted protease-sensitive pheromone, referred to as the competence factor or activator, which acts as a quorum-sensing signal to co-ordinate expression of late competence genes. We recently reported identification of the pheromone of Streptococcus pneumoniae strain Rx as a small unmodified...
