PerR Controls Oxidative Stress Resistance and Iron Storage Proteins and Is Required for Virulence in <i>Staphylococcus aureus</i>
1 Jun 2001
Abstract excerpt
The Staphylococcus aureus genome encodes three ferric uptake regulator (Fur) homologues: Fur, PerR, and Zur. To determine the exact role of PerR, we inactivated the gene by allelic replacement using a kanamycin cassette, creating strain MJH001 (perR). PerR was found to control transcription of the genes encoding the oxidative stress resistance proteins catalase (KatA), alkyl hydroperoxide reductase (AhpCF),...
