The contribution of competence system to the virulence of Streptococcus pneumoniae
Competence induction in Streptococcus pneumoniae (pneumococcus) is initiated by the binding of the 17-amino acid competence stimulating peptide (CSP) to its membrane-associated histidine sensor kinase ComD. ComD autophosphorylates and subsequently phosphorylates and activates its cognate response …

Molecular dissection of competence regulated virulence in Streptococcus pneumoniae
… to improving genome plasticity, a natural competence system directly contributes to pneumococcal virulence during pneumonia and bacteremia, independent of DNA uptake. Competence is activated when the competence stimulating peptide (CSP), encoded by the comC gene, is processed and exported …
