The Q225P Mutation in SigB Promotes Membrane Vesicle Formation in Staphylococcus aureus.

Abstract excerpt

Both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria release nano-sized lipid bilayered particles, known as membrane vesicles (MVs), into external environments. Although MVs play a variety of roles in bacterial physiology and pathogenesis, the mechanisms underlying MV formation in Gram-positive microorganisms such as Staphylococcus aureus remain obscure. Bacterial MV production can be induced in response to stress...
