Competence Inhibition by the XrpA Peptide Encoded Within the <i>comX</i> Gene of <i>Streptococcus mutans</i>

2018-02-14

Abstract excerpt

<h4>SUMMARY</h4> Streptococcus mutans displays complex regulation of natural genetic competence. Competence development in S. mutans is controlled by a peptide derived from ComS (XIP); which along with the cytosolic regulator ComR controls the expression of the alternative sigma factor comX , the master regulator of competence development. Recently, a gene embedded within the coding region of comX was discover...
