A Method for Structure-Activity Analysis of Quorum-Sensing Signaling Peptides from Naturally Transformable Streptococci
Tian, XiaoLin; Syvitski, Raymond T.; Liu, TianLei; Livingstone, Nadine; Jakeman, David L.; Li, Yung-Hua (2009-12)Many species of streptococci secrete and use a competence-stimulating peptide (CSP) to initiate quorum sensing for induction of genetic competence, bacteriocin production, and other activities. These signaling molecules ... -
Structure-activity analysis of quorum-sensing signaling peptides from Streptococcus mutans
Syvitski, Raymond T.; Tian, Xiao-Lin; Sampara, Kamal; Salman, Alan; Lee, Song F.; Jakeman, David L.; Li, Yung-Hua (2007-02)Streptococcus mutans secretes and utilizes a 21-amino-acid signaling peptide pheromone to initiate quorum sensing for genetic competence, biofilm formation, stress responses, and bacteriocin production. In this study, we ...
