Abstract excerpt
Cell-surface polypeptide CshA (259 kDa) mediates multiple adherence interactions of Streptococcus gordonii. By generating a chromosomal cshA promoter (p-cshA)-cat gene fusion and measuring both CAT enzyme activity and cat mRNA levels, it was shown that cshA is expressed maximally in cells in the...
