Zinc Tolerance Through Glutathione Import Strikes a Fine Balance Between Protection and Damage in Streptococcus mutans
Recently, our group showed that the dental pathogen Streptococcus mutans is inherently more tolerant to high zinc stress than other streptococci, a phenotype associated with the presence of a P-type ATPase exporter named ZccE, virtually unique to S. mutans. In addition to zccE, a previous transcriptome analysis revealed that S. mutans upregulates genes involved in glutathione uptake during initial exposure to zinc stress. Glutathione, a major supplier of organic sulfur that also plays key...
