CovS inactivation reduces CovR promoter binding at diverse virulence factor encoding genes in group A Streptococcus.

The control of virulence gene regulator (CovR), also called caspsule synthesis regulator (CsrR), is critical to how the major human pathogen group A Streptococcus fine-tunes virulence factor production. CovR phosphorylation (CovR~P) levels are determined by its cognate sensor kinase CovS, and functi...
