Cloning and sequencing of Staphylococcus aureus murC, a gene essential for cell wall biosynthesis.

DNA sequence : the journal of DNA sequencing and mapping - 1 Jan 1999

Lowe A M, Deresiewicz R L

Abstract excerpt

Staphylococcus aureus is a major human pathogen that is increasingly resistant to clinically useful antimicrobial agents. While screening for S. aureus genes expressed during mammalian infection, we isolated murC. This gene encodes UDP-N-acetylmuramoyl-L-alanine synthetase, an enzyme essential for cell wall biosynthesis in a number of bacteria. S. aureus MurC has a predicted mass 49,182 Da and complements the...
