Abstract excerpt
A temperature-sensitive lethal mutant of Staphylococcus aureus was found to harbor a mutation in the uncharacterized two-component histidine kinase (HK)-response regulator (RR) pair encoded by yycFG; orthologues of yycFG could be identified in the genomes of Bacillus subtilis and other gram-positive bacteria. Sequence analysis of the mutant revealed a point mutation resulting in a nonconservative change (Glu to...
