Role of the two-component signal transduction and the phosphoenolpyruvate: carbohydrate phosphotransferase systems in competence development of Haemophilus influenzae Rd [published erratum appears in J Bacteriol 1997 Jan;179(2):567]

Haemophilus influenzae Rd becomes competent for transformation by nutritional downshift or transient anaerobic growth through a process that requires cyclic AMP receptor protein and adenylate cyclase. Insertion mutations in crr or ptsI of the phosphoenolpyruvate:carbohydrate phosphotransferase system lowered transformation frequencies, and the effect was reversed by the addition of cyclic AMP. However, insertions into H. influenzae homologs of two- component signal transduction genes had no effect on competence.
