Intracellular Signaling by the comRS System in Streptococcus mutans Genetic Competence

Entry into genetic competence in streptococci is controlled by ComX, an alternative sigma factor for genes that enable the import of exogenous DNA. In Streptococcus mutans, the immediate activator of comX is the ComRS quorum system. ComS is the precursor of XIP, a seven-residue peptide that is impor...
