Some transcriptional regulators contribute to the expression of Streptococcus mutans (S. mutans) cariogenic virulence factors. Although the target sequence transcriptional regulators anchored on the cell wall and the molecular mechanism of the regulation of S. mutans are yet to be clarified, certain global regulators potentially associated with the cariogenicity of S. mutans have been identified. This review is about these related transcriptional regulators, their function, and possible mechanisms.
一些转录调节因子有助于变形链球菌致龋毒力因子的表达。尽管锚定在细胞壁上的靶序列转录调节因子以及变形链球菌的调节分子机制尚待阐明,但已鉴定出某些可能与变形链球菌致龋性相关的全局调节因子。本文综述了这些相关的转录调节因子、它们的功能及可能的机制。
