Inactivation of the SauI Type I Restriction-Modification System Is Not Sufficient To Generate Staphylococcus aureus Strains Capable of Efficiently Accepting Foreign DNA
21 Mar 2009
Abstract excerpt
Genetic manipulation of Staphylococcus aureus is limited by the availability of only a single strain, RN4220, that is capable of easily accepting foreign DNA. Inactivation of the hsdR gene of the SauI type I restriction-modification system was shown previously to be responsible for the high transformation efficiency of RN4220 (D. E. Waldron and J. A. Lindsay, J Bacteriol. 188:5578-5585, 2006). However, deletion...
