Group A Streptococcal asparagine metabolism regulates bacterial virulence
14 Apr 2025
Abstract excerpt
Group A Streptococcus (GAS) causes various human diseases linked to virulome expression predominantly regulated by the two-component system (TCS), CovR/S. Here, we demonstrate that asparagine (Asn) presence in a minimal chemically defined medium increases virulence gene expression in a CovR-dependent fashion. It also decreases the transcription of asparagine synthetase (AsnA), the ABC transporter responsible for...
