[ 25 ] had previously generated a single allele knockout in C. albicans of the guanylyltransferase component of the capping apparatus (Cgt1) using the URA-blaster technique and noted a variety of pleiotrophic effects on stress response, hygromycin sensitivity, and colony morphology in the CGT1/cgt1Δ heterozygote, but they found that the heterozygote was just as virulent as the wild-type strain in animal models of systemic candidiasis.

The genetic event(s) associated with the selection of a virulent variant of the sagA/pel mutant without changing the site or orientation of the Tn 917 transposon was reminiscent of earlier studies from our laboratory testing the virulence of mga mutants of isolate 64/14 [ 9 ] . In that study, injection of an mga mutant, that failed to express any detectable surface M or M-related protein, lead to selection of mga variants over-expressing M and M-related proteins that could be recovered from the spleen following a lethal skin infection.
The precise biological role of SLS in streptococcal infections remains controversial [ 7 ] . The original analysis of the sagA gene demonstrated that inactivation of the gene encoding the polypeptide component of SLS rendered the organism less virulent in a dermonecrotic mouse model [ 3 ] . In a related series of studies, Li et al also isolated a mutant that not only lacked SLS activity but also affected other phenotypes [ 4 ] . The additional phenotypes included surface M and M-related protein as well as the secreted cysteine protease, streptococcal pyrogenic exotoxin B, SpeB [ 4 ] . The disrupted gene was termed pel (pleotrophic effect locus).
