Bacteriocin activity of Streptococcus pneumoniae is controlled by the serine protease HtrA via posttranscriptional regulation.

abstract：:Secreted and cell envelope-associated proteins are important to both Mycobacterium tuberculosis pathogenesis and the generation of protective immunity to M. tuberculosis. We used an in vitro Tn552'phoA transposition system to identify exported proteins of M. tuberculosis. The system is simple and efficient, and the tr...

In Streptococcus pneumoniae, phase-variable type I restriction-modification (R-M) systems are part of the core genome.
