Redirection of Metabolism in Response to Fatty Acid Kinase in Staphylococcus aureus.

Journal of bacteriology - 1 Oct 2018

DeMars Zachary, Bose Jeffrey L

Abstract excerpt

Staphylococcus aureus is capable of phosphorylating exogenous fatty acids for incorporation into the bacterium's membrane via the fatty acid kinase, FakA. Additionally, FakA plays a significant role in virulence factor regulation and skin infections. We previously showed that a fakA mutant displays altered growth kinetics in vitro, observed during the late-exponential phase of growth. Here, we demonstrate that...
