CcpA and LacD.1 affect temporal regulation of Streptococcus pyogenes virulence genes.
Production of H(2)O(2) follows a growth phase-dependent pattern that mimics that of many virulence factors of Streptococcus pyogenes. To gain greater insight into mechanisms coupling virulence factor expression to growth phase, we investigated the molecular basis for H(2)O(2) generation and its regulation. Deletion of the gene encoding lactate oxidase (lctO) or culture in the presence of glucos...
متن کاملDistinct time-resolved roles for two catabolite-sensing pathways during Streptococcus pyogenes infection.
Many Gram-positive pathogens link the expression of virulence genes to the presence of carbon source substrates using overlapping pathways for global control of carbon catabolite regulation. However, how these pathways are integrated to control the behavior of the transcriptome in time- and compartment-specific patterns is typically not well understood. In the present study, global transcriptom...
متن کاملA novel adaptation of aldolase regulates virulence in Streptococcus pyogenes.
Regulation of virulence factor expression is critical for pathogenic microorganisms that must sense and adapt to a dynamic host environment; yet, the signal transduction pathways that enable this process are generally poorly understood. Here, we identify LacD.1 as a global regulator of virulence factor expression in the versatile human pathogen, Streptococcus pyogenes. LacD.1 is derived from a ...
متن کاملAdaptive evolution of the Streptococcus pyogenes regulatory aldolase LacD.1.
In the human-pathogenic bacterium Streptococcus pyogenes, the tagatose bisphosphate aldolase LacD.1 likely originated through a gene duplication event and was adapted to a role as a metabolic sensor for regulation of virulence gene transcription. Although LacD.1 retains enzymatic activity, its ancestral metabolic function resides in the LacD.2 aldolase, which is required for the catabolism of g...
متن کاملCcpA-mediated repression of streptolysin S expression and virulence in the group A streptococcus.
CcpA is the global mediator of carbon catabolite repression (CCR) in gram-positive bacteria, and growing evidence from several pathogens, including the group A streptococcus (GAS), suggests that CcpA plays an important role in virulence gene regulation. In this study, a deletion of ccpA in an invasive M1 GAS strain was used to test the contribution of CcpA to pathogenesis in mice. Surprisingly,...
