A novel function for the competence inducting peptide, XIP, as a cell death effector of Streptococcous mutans

In Streptococcus mutans, ComX, an alternative sigma factor, drives the transcription of the “late-competence genes” required for genetic transformation. ComX activity is modulated by inputs from two signaling pathways, ComDE and ComRS, that respond to the competence stimulating peptide (CSP) and the...
