The article offers a genome-wide survey of short coding sequences (CDSs) in streptococci. The section reports a thorough search for short CDSs across streptococcal genomes. It describes the discovery of a new family of CDSs that encodes hydrophobic peptides located just upstream of genes encoding transcriptional regulators of the Rgg family. It examined the transcription of seven genes of Streptococci thermophilus, six selected from those with extrinsic evidence that could be linked to quorum sensing and one selected from those with only intrinsic evidence, using real-time quantitative RT-PCR.
