The Staphylococcus aureus scdA gene: a novel locus that affects cell division and morphogenesis.

Microbiology (Reading, England) - 1 Sept 1997

Brunskill Eric W, de Jonge Boudewijn L M, Bayles Kenneth W

Abstract excerpt

A new Staphylococcus aureus gene termed scdA was found upstream of the autolysis regulatory genes, lytS and lytR, and was shown to potentially encode a hydrophilic 25 kDa protein. Analysis of scdA transcription revealed that it is transcribed as a monocistronic message and is lytSR-independent. A role in cell wall metabolism was indicated by examination of the scdA mutant S. aureus KB323, which had a grossly...
