Identification of a Novel Gene Cluster Encoding Staphylococcal Exotoxin-Like Proteins: Characterization of the Prototypic Gene and Its Protein Product, SET1
1 Aug 2000
Abstract excerpt
We report the discovery of a novel genetic locus within Staphylococcus aureus that encodes a cluster of at least five exotoxin-like proteins. Designated the staphylococcal exotoxin-like genes 1 to 5 (set1 to set5), these open reading frames have between 38 and 53% homology to each other. All five proteins contain consensus sequences that are found in staphylococcal and streptococcal exotoxins and toxic shock...
