Autoregulation and Virulence Control by the Toxin-Antitoxin System SavRS in Staphylococcus aureus
7 Feb 2018
Abstract excerpt
ABSTRACT Toxin-antitoxin (TA) systems play diverse physiological roles, such as plasmid maintenance, growth control, and persister cell formation, but their involvement in bacterial pathogenicity remains largely unknown. Here, we have identified a novel type II toxin-antitoxin system, SavRS, and revealed the molecular mechanisms of its autoregulation and virulence control in Staphylococcus aureus ....
