ABSTRACT:
Spo-rel polypeptides and DNA (RNA) encoding such spo-rel and a procedure for producing such polypeptides by recombinant techniques is disclosed. Also disclosed are methods for utilizing such spo-rel for the treatment of infection, particularly bacterial infections. Antagonists against such spo-rel and their use as a therapeutic to treat infections, particularly bacterial infections are also disclosed. Also disclosed are diagnostic assays for detecting diseases related to the presence of spo-rel nucleic acid sequences and the polypeptides in a host. Also disclosed are diagnostic assays for detecting polynucleotides encoding the relA/spoT gene family and for detecting the polypeptide in a host.
