Abstract excerpt
We identified a gene from Staphylococcus aureus, flp (fmtA-like protein), encoding a protein of 489 amino acid residues with a molecular mass of 56.4 kDa. The deduced amino acid sequence shows similarity to previously characterized penicillin binding proteins (PBPs) and FmtA of S. aureus (one of the factors which affect methicillin resistance). FLP protein has three motifs, which are conserved in PBPs and...
