Abstract excerpt
SarA, a winged-helix DNA binding protein, is a global virulence regulator in Staphylococcus aureus. The putative DNA binding region of SarA is located between amino acid residues Leu 53 and Gln 97. Previous studies have demonstrated that residues at positions 84, 88, 89, and 90 are critical for its function. To precisely understand the roles of the DNA binding residues, we have investigated nine mutants of a...
