6. Superantigens in group A streptococcus : gene diversity and humoral immune response
Sammanfattning : Group A streptococcus (GAS) is a strictly human pathogen that causes infections ranging from asymptomatic carriage to the highly lethal streptococcal toxic shock syndrome (STSS). GAS are classified according to the sequence of the variable 5’ end of the emm-gene that encodes the surface associated M-protein. LÄS MER
7. Multifaceted RNA-mediated regulatory mechanisms in Streptococcus pyogenes
Sammanfattning : Bacterial pathogens rely on precise regulation of gene expression to coordinate host infection processes and resist invasion by mobile genetic elements. An interconnected network of protein and RNA regulators dynamically controls the expression of virulence factors using a variety of mechanisms. LÄS MER
8. Post-transcriptional regulation by RNases in Streptococcus pyogenes
Sammanfattning : Ribonucleases (RNases) are proteins that adjust cellular RNA levels by processing RNA transcripts, leading to their stabilization or degradation. RNases are grouped based on their ability to cleave the transcript internally (endoRNases) or degrade the transcript starting from the ends (exoRNases). LÄS MER
9. Studies on secreted cysteine proteases of Streptococcus pyogenes : IdeS and SpeB
Sammanfattning : The pathogen Streptococcus pyogenes is a significant cause of human morbidity and mortality. Most of the work in this thesis is focused on streptococcal virulence factor IdeS, but the thesis also features work on SpeB, another streptococcal virulence factor. LÄS MER
10. Pathogen-host interactions at the surface of Streptococcus pyogenes
Sammanfattning : The bacterial surface can be thought of as the interface where pathogenic bacteria encounter the human host. Interactions between bacterial surface proteins and human proteins are important determinants of the eventual outcome of infection. LÄS MER
