LuxS impacts on LytA-dependent autolysis and on competence in Streptococcus pneumoniae.
The ubiquitous protein LuxS with S-ribosylhomocysteinase activity is involved in S-adenosyl methionine detoxification, C-1 unit recycling and the production of autoinducers that allow the cell to sense and respond to cell density. Independent reports describe the impact of LuxS deficiency on Streptococcus pneumoniae virulence in the mouse. In vitro, LuxS deficiency confers discrete phenotypes. ...
متن کاملInfluence of the spxB gene on competence in Streptococcus pneumoniae.
In Streptococcus pneumoniae expression of pyruvate oxidase (SpxB) peaks during the early growth phase, coincident with the time of natural competence. This study investigated whether SpxB influences parameters of competence, such as spontaneous transformation frequency, expression of competence genes, and DNA release. Knockout of the spxB gene in strain D39 abolished spontaneous transformation ...
متن کاملInhibition of Autolysis by Lipase LipA in Streptococcus pneumoniae Sepsis
More than 50% of sepsis cases are associated with pneumonia. Sepsis is caused by infiltration of bacteria into the blood via inflammation, which is triggered by the release of cell wall components following lysis. However, the regulatory mechanism of lysis during infection is not well defined. Mice were infected with Streptococcus pneumoniae D39 wild-type (WT) and lipase mutant (ΔlipA) intranas...
متن کاملContribution of the ATP-dependent protease ClpCP to the autolysis and virulence of Streptococcus pneumoniae.
The ATP-dependent caseinolytic proteases (Clp) are fundamental for stress tolerance and virulence in many pathogenic bacteria. The role of ClpC in the autolysis and virulence of Streptococcus pneumoniae is controversial. In this study, we tested the role of ClpC in a number of S. pneumoniae strains and found that the contribution of ClpC to autolysis is strain dependent. ClpC is required for th...
