Autoregulation of the <i>S. mutans</i> SloR metalloregulator is constitutive and driven by an independent promoter
2018-04-14
Abstract excerpt
Streptococcus mutans , one of ∼600 bacterial species in the human oral cavity, is among the most acidogenic constituents of the plaque biofilm. Considered to be the primary causative agent of dental caries, S. mutans harbors a 25kDa SloR metalloregulatory protein which controls metal ion transport across the bacterial cell membrane to maintain essential metal ion homeostasis. The expression of SloR derives, in pa...
