Dissertation Seminar - Regulation and Substrate Selectivity of Peptide Exporters and Their Functional Significance in Streptococcus pneumoniae
Peptidase-containing ABC transporters (PCATs) are a widely distributed family of transporters which export peptide substrates containing a double-glycine motif (GG peptides). In gram-positive bacteria, PCATs secrete pheromones used for cell-to-cell signaling and antimicrobial peptides called bacteriocins used for interbacterial killing and competition. PCATs recognize GG peptides through their N-terminal signal sequences, but little is known about how PCATs distinguish between different GG peptides.
