Three Highly Homologous Membrane-bound Lipoproteins Participate in Oligopeptide Transport by the Ami System of the Gram-positive Streptococcus pneumoniae

Oligopeptides are an important source of nutrients, but can serve also as signals for intercellular communication. Oligopeptide-binding proteins seem likely to play a role both in oligopeptide transport and in communication processes. One such protein, AmiA, has been identified in Streptococcus pneu...
