Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Shawn King's research investigates the molecular mechanisms of bacteria, with a particular focus on *Streptococcus mutans*. His work has explored the activation and regulation of mobile genetic elements, such as the integrative and conjugative element TnSmu1, by transcriptional regulators. King has also studied post-translational modifications in *Streptococcus mutans*, specifically serine/threonine phosphorylation and the role of GpsB. His recent publications examine the genomic analysis of mobile genetic elements in oral streptococci and post-translational modifications within these bacteria. King collaborates with researchers at Arkansas State University, including Robert C. Shields, Allison Quick, Kalee King, and Sangam Chudal, with whom he has co-authored multiple publications.
