SosA inhibits cell division in <i>Staphylococcus aureus</i> in response to DNA damage

2018-07-08

Abstract excerpt

Inhibition of cell division is critical for cell viability under DNA damaging conditions. In bacterial cells, DNA damage induces the SOS response, a process that inhibits cell division while repairs are being made. In coccoid bacteria, such as the human pathogen Staphylococcus aureus , the process remains poorly understood. Here we have characterized an SOS-induced cell-division inhibitor, SosA, in S. aureus . W...
