The oligopeptide ABC-importers are essential communication channels in Gram-positive bacteria

Résumé

The transport of peptides in microorganisms plays an important role in their physiology and behavior, both as a nutrient source and as a proxy to sense their environment. This latter function is evidenced in Gram-positive bacteria where cell-cell communication is mediated by small peptides. Here, we highlight the importance of the oligopeptide permease (Opp) systems in the various major processes controlled by signaling peptides, such as sporulation, virulence and conjugation. We underline that the functioning of these communication systems is tightly linked to the developmental status of the bacteria via the regulation of opp gene expression by transition phase regulators.
