Abstract excerpt
Two genes of the sigB operon, rsbU and rsbV, were deleted in an rsbU(+) strain (FDA486) to evaluate the contribution of these two genes to sigma(B) activity in Staphylococcus aureus. The sigma(B) protein level and the transcription of two sigma(B)-dependent promoters (sigB and sarA P3 transcripts) were analyzed in the constructed mutants. A deletion of the first gene (rsbU) within the sigB operon led only to a...
