Alternative roles of ClpX and ClpP in <i>Staphylococcus aureus</i> stress tolerance and virulence
12 May 2003
Abstract excerpt
Clp proteolytic complexes are essential for virulence and for survival under stress conditions in several pathogenic bacteria. Recently, a study using signature-tagged mutagenesis identified the ClpX ATPase as also being required for virulence in Staphylococcus aureus. Presently, we have constructed deletion mutants removing either ClpX or the proteolytic subunit, ClpP, in S. aureus 8325-4 in order to examine a...
