EpsR Negatively Regulates Streptococcus mutans Exopolysaccharide Synthesis

J. Chen et al.

Summary: EpsR, a MarR family transcription factor, negatively regulates gtfB expression and exopolysaccharide production in S. mutans. Deletion of epsR led to altered colony morphology, increased water-insoluble EPS production, and upregulated GtfB protein content and activity, indicating the importance of EpsR in regulating cariogenic biofilm formation.
