<i>Staphylococcus aureus</i> AgrA Binding to the RNAIII- <i>agr</i> Regulatory Region
31 Oct 2004
Abstract excerpt
The control of virulence gene expression in the human pathogen Staphylococcus aureus is under the partial control of the two-component quorum-sensing system encoded by genes of the agr locus. The product of the agrA gene has been shown by amino acid sequence similarity to be the putative response regulator; however, binding of AgrA to promoters under its control has not yet been demonstrated. In this study, we...
