Genetic analysis of the functions and interactions of components of the LevQRST signal transduction complex of Streptococcus mutans.

Genetic analysis of the functions and interactions of components of the LevQRST signal transduction complex of Streptococcus mutans.

Transcription of the genes for a fructan hydrolase (fruA) and a fructose/mannose sugar:phosphotransferase permease (levDEFG) in Streptococcus mutans is activated by a four-component regulatory system consisting of a histidine kinase (LevS), a response regulator (LevR) and two carbohydrate-binding pr...
