It is an opportunistic pathogen that was recently determined to be a bacterial driver of colorectal cancer, in addition to causing other diseases, such as infective endocarditis, bacteremia, neonatal meningitis, and septicemia. As an emerging pathogen, not much is known about this bacterium, its virulence mechanisms, or its virulence regulatory pathways. Previous studies suggest that\n S. gallolyticus<\/jats:named-content>\n subsp.\n gallolyticus<\/jats:named-content>\n uses a ComRS pathway, one of many\n Streptococcus<\/jats:named-content>\n quorum-sensing circuitries, for competence. However, thus far, the ubiquitous ComABCDE pathway has not been studied, nor has its regulatory role in\n S. gallolyticus<\/jats:named-content>\n subsp.\n gallolyticus<\/jats:named-content>\n . We therefore sought to study the\n S. gallolyticus<\/jats:named-content>\n subsp.\n gallolyticus<\/jats:named-content>\n ComABCDE quorum-sensing pathway and have identified its peptide pheromone, which is termed the competence-stimulating peptide (CSP). We further determined that this peptide regulates the production of bacteriocin-like inhibitory substances (BLISs), a phenotype that has been linked with the ComABCDE pathway in both\n Streptococcus pneumoniae<\/jats:named-content>\n and\n Streptococcus mutans<\/jats:named-content>\n . Our data show that\n S. gallolyticus<\/jats:named-content>\n subsp.\n gallolyticus<\/jats:named-content>\n TX20005 produces a 21-mer CSP signal, which differs from CSP signals of other\n Streptococcus<\/jats:named-content>\n species in that its active form begins three residues after the double-glycine leader signal of the ComC precursor peptide. Additionally, our data suggest that this peptide might not be related to competence induction, as opposed to CSP signaling peptides in other\n Streptococcus<\/jats:named-content>\n species. This study provides the first evidence that\n S. gallolyticus<\/jats:named-content>\n subsp.\n gallolyticus<\/jats:named-content>\n utilizes quorum sensing to eliminate competitors, presenting a potential pathway to target this emerging human pathogen.\n <\/jats:p>\n \n IMPORTANCE<\/jats:bold>\n Streptococcus gallolyticus<\/jats:named-content>\n subsp.\n gallolyticus<\/jats:named-content>\n is an emerging human pathogen known as a causative agent of infective endocarditis, and recently, of colorectal cancer. In this work, we revealed a functional quorum-sensing circuitry in\n S. gallolyticus<\/jats:named-content>\n subsp.\n gallolyticus<\/jats:named-content>\n , including the identification of the central signaling peptide pheromone, competence-stimulating peptide (CSP), and the regulatory role of this circuitry in the production of bacteriocin-like inhibitory substances (BLISs). This work uncovered a mechanism by which this bacterium outcompetes other bacterial species and thus provides a potential tool to study this opportunistic pathogen.\n <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1128\/jb.00709-17","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2018,2,13]],"date-time":"2018-02-13T11:45:08Z","timestamp":1518522308000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1128\/asmj-crossmark-policy-page","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":21,"title":["Identification of Streptococcus gallolyticus subsp. gallolyticus (Biotype I) Competence-Stimulating Peptide Pheromone"],"prefix":"10.1128","volume":"200","author":[{"given":"Anthony","family":"Harrington","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Chemistry, University of Nevada, Reno, Reno, Nevada, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2052-6782","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Yftah","family":"Tal-Gan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Chemistry, University of Nevada, Reno, Reno, Nevada, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"235","reference":[{"key":"e_1_3_3_2_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1128\/JCM.00078-08"},{"key":"e_1_3_3_3_2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"631","DOI":"10.1099\/ijs.0.02361-0","article-title":"Reappraisal of the taxonomy of the Streptococcus bovis\/Streptococcus equinus complex and related species: description of Streptococcus gallolyticus subsp. gallolyticus subsp. nov., S. gallolyticus subsp. macedonicus subsp. nov. and S. gallolyticus subsp. pasteurianus subsp. nov","volume":"53","author":"Schlegel L","year":"2003","unstructured":"Schlegel L, Grimont F, Ageron E, Grimont PA, Bouvet A. 2003.
