Mechanisms of peptide sex pheromone regulation of conjugation in Enterococcus faecalis

In many gram positive bacteria, horizontal transfer and virulence are regulated by peptide‐mediated cell‐cell signaling. The heptapeptide cCF10 (C) activates conjugative transfer of the Enterococcus faecalis plasmid pCF10, whereas the iCF10 (I) peptide inhibits transfer. Both peptides bind to the sa...
