Abstract excerpt
The cst operon of the major human pathogen Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) is under the transcriptional control of CsoR-like sulfurtransferase repressor (CstR). Expression of this operon is induced by hydrogen sulfide, and two components of the cst operon, cstA and cstB, protect S. aureus from sulfide toxicity. CstA is a three-domain protein, and each domain harbors a single cysteine that is proposed to...
