Specific binding of the activator Mga to promoter sequences of the emm and scpA genes in the group A streptococcus.

Journal of bacteriology - 1 Nov 1995

McIver K S, Heath A S, Green B D, Scott J R

Abstract excerpt

Transcription of the surface-associated virulence factors of the group A streptococcus (GAS) Streptococcus pyogenes, M protein (emm) and the C5a peptidase (scpA), is activated by a protein called Mga (formerly Mry or VirR). To determine whether Mga binds directly to the promoters of the genes it regulates, a protein resulting from the fusion of Mga to the C-terminal end of maltose-binding protein was purified...
