Fine-tuning cellular levels of DprA ensures transformant fitness in the human pathogen Streptococcus pneumoniae
C. Johnston, I. Mortier-Barriere, V. Khemici, P. Polard
This study shows that high DprA expression in Streptococcus pneumoniae is crucial for competence shut-off and transformant fitness, but not for DNA protection or RecA loading during transformation.
