Peptides play an important signalling role in Bacillus subtilis, where their uptake by one of two ABC-type oligopeptide transporters, Opp and App, is required for efficient sporulation. Homologues of these transporters in Clostridium difficile have been characterized, but their role, and hence that of peptides, in regulating sporulation in this organism is less clear. Here, the oligopeptide-binding receptor proteins for these transporters, CdAppA and CdOppA, have been purified and partially char ...[more]
