摘要: 龋病是一种细菌感染性疾病,变异链球菌是主要致龋菌。变异链球菌的双组分信号传导系统由膜相关组氨酸蛋白激酶和胞内反式作用因子两个基本成分组成。双组分信号传导系统可以使变异链球菌感应外界环境变化和调节内部基因表达,这对于维持细菌的生存和毒力调整有重要作用。本文就与变异链球菌应激应答密切相关的双组分信号传导系统研究现状作一综述。

Abstract: Streptococcus mutans (S. mutans) is considered one of the primary etiological agents of dental caries. The two component signal transduction pathways network of S. mutans is comprised of histidine protein kinase and response regulator protein. Two component systems (TCSs) enable S. mutans to sense the environments changes and regulate the expression of important genes, which are essential for the survival and virulence adjustment of S. mutans. This article comprehensively reviews the current progress of the TCSs systems closely associated with stress response of S. mutans.
