The leaderless communication peptide (LCP) class of quorum-sensing peptides is broadly distributed among Firmicutes

Abstract The human pathogen Streptococcus pyogenes secretes a short peptide (leaderless communication peptide, LCP) that mediates intercellular communication and controls bacterial virulence through interaction with its receptor, RopB. Here, we show that LCP and RopB homologues are present in other...
