Staphylococcus aureus regulates the expression and production of the staphylococcal superantigen‐like secreted proteins in a Rot‐dependent manner
9 Jun 2011
Abstract excerpt
Staphylococcus aureus overproduces a subset of immunomodulatory proteins known as the staphylococcal superantigen-like proteins (Ssls) under conditions of pore-mediated membrane stress. In this study we demonstrate that overproduction of Ssls during membrane stress is due to the impaired activation of the two-component module of the quorum-sensing accessory gene regulator (Agr) system. Agr-dependent repression of...
