Frontiers in Bioengineering and Biotechnology, 2021 Carbon catabolite repression (CCR) limits microbial utilization of lignocellulose-derived pentoses. To relieve CCR in Clostridium beijerinckii NCIMB 8052, we sought to downregulate catabolite control protein A (CcpA) using the M1GS ribozyme technology. A

Carbon Catabolite Repression and the Related Genes of ccpA, ptsH and hprK in Thermoanaerobacterium aotearoense. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 The strictly anaerobic, Gram-positive bacterium, Thermoanaerobacterium aotearoense SCUT27, is capable of producing ethanol, hydrogen and lactic acid by directly fermenting glucan, xylan and various lignocellulosically derived sugars.

A New Mechanism of Carbon Metabolism and Acetic Acid Balance Regulated by CcpA
Microorganisms, 2023 Catabolite control protein A (CcpA) is a critical regulator in Gram-positive bacteria that orchestrates carbon metabolism by coordinating the utilization of different carbon sources.

CcpA Affects Infectivity of Staphylococcus aureus in a Hyperglycemic Environment
Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2017 Many bacteria regulate the expression of virulence factors via carbon catabolite responsive elements. In Gram-positive bacteria, the predominant mediator of carbon catabolite repression is the catabolite control protein A (CcpA).

HP0197 contributes to CPS synthesis and the virulence of Streptococcus suis via CcpA. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 Streptococcus suis serotype 2 (SS2), a major swine pathogen and an emerging zoonotic agent, has greatly challenged global public health. The encoding proteins with unknown functions the bacterium encodes are an obstruction to studies of the pathogenesis.
