Evaluating protein-protein interactions of CpsA, a virulence factor in Group B Streptococcus
… its ability to produce a polysaccharide capsule. CpsA has been recognized as an integral part of capsule synthesis as well as having a role in transcriptional regulation. We hypothesize that protein-protein interactions with CpsA play a role in virulence and may be required for CpsA function. …

Analysis of the streptococcal cpsa protein in dna-binding and regulation of capsule and cell wall maintenance
… controlled in part by the membrane bound protein CpsA. These studies analyze the contribution of CpsA to regulation of capsule level in the model aquatic pathogen Streptococcus iniae and human specific pathogen GBS, and how this regulation affects virulence in in-vitro, ex-vivo, and in-vivo models …

A theological assessment of the socio-political role of the Church of the Province of South Africa (1904-1930) with special reference to the influence of Archbishop William Marlborough Carter
… the Church of the Province of South Africa (CPSA) had declared itself an autonomous part of the Anglican Communion independent of British legal control. That was the first major paradigm shift in the life of the Church of the Province of South Africa. After the Treaty of Vereeniging which …

Anglican identity and contemporary relevance : a critical study of the Partners in Mission process within the Church of the Province of Southern Africa
… the Church of the Province of Southern Africa (CPSA), which uses methods appropriate to such a study. Chapter 1 examines the background against which the PIM process and CPSA's PIM 'Vision' must be seen: Anglicanism, its origins, intentions and mission - and the tension between Anglican identity …

Cell Envelope Modifications By Lcp Family Proteins Of Group B Streptococcus And Virulence Singaling By Peptides Of The Salivaricin Locus Of Streptococcus Pyogenes
… expression is controlled in part by the protein CpsA. We demonstrate that deletion of the cpsA gene, or expression of proteins with modifications to the extracellular or leucine zipper domains leads to reduced capsule expression and abnormalities in the bacterial cell wall and in cell division. …

An exploratory study of women's experiences and place in the church: a case study of a parish in the Church of the Province of Southern Africa (CPSA), diocese of Cape Town
… the Church of the Province of Southern Africa (CPSA) situated in the Diocese of Cape Town. Using qualitative feminist research methodologies, this study sets out to explore how this group of non-ordained women perceives their roles in the church structure. The study examines what initially …

The Kallikrein-Related Peptidases hK2 and PSA with Emphasis on Genetic Variation, Secretion, and Sperm Motility
… was found between levels of complexed PSA (cPSA) in blood and PSA in semen. In blood, levels of cPSA, but not fPSA, increased with age, which may reflect an increasing incidence of prostate disease. In men 19–40 years, an age when reproduction most commonly takes place, correlations were …

The capsular polysaccharide of Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae serotype 5A: role in serum resistance and characterization of the genetic basis for expression
… contained two complete open reading frames (cpsA and cpsB), and a third partial open reading frame, cpsC. These genes may encode proteins involved in A. pleuropneumoniae J45 CP biosynthesis. A recombinant A. pleuropneumoniae J45 mutant in which the three serotype-specific genes, cpsABC, were …
