Non-canonical <i>Staphylococcus aureus</i> pathogenicity island repression

2021-09-07

Abstract excerpt

<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> Mobile genetic elements (MGEs) control their life cycles by the expression of a master repressor, whose function must be disabled to allow the spread of these elements in nature. Here we describe an unprecedented repression-derepression mechanism involved in the transfer of the Staphylococcus aureus pathogenicity islands (SaPIs). Contrary to the classical phage and SaPI repressors, which are di...
