Abstract excerpt
One and two TTTA repeat expansions have been found in the coding region of icaC gene of Staphylococcus aureus variants which influence the expression of IcaC protein and alter the phenotype. Yet, the mechanism of these small-size TTTA repeat expansions remains unclear. In this study, we performed high-resolution nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopic studies on TTTA repeats. Our results show that a DNA sequence...
