Differential Regulation of Iron- and Manganese-Specific MtsABC and Heme-Specific HtsABC Transporters by the Metalloregulator MtsR of Group A <i>Streptococcus</i>
22 Aug 2006
Abstract excerpt
The genome of the human pathogen group A Streptococcus (GAS) encodes the transporters MtsABC, FtsABCD, and HtsABC to take up ferric and manganese ions, ferric ferrichrome, and heme, respectively. The GAS genome also encodes two metalloregulators PerR and MtsR. To understand the regulation of the expression of these transporters, the mtsR and perR deletion mutants of a GAS serotype M1 strain were generated, and...
