Molecular insights into the control of transcription initiation at the Staphylococcus aureus agr operon

2012-01-01

Abstract excerpt

Central to the regulation of the diverse array of virulence factors encoded by the opportunistic human pathogen Staphylococcus aureus is the accessory gene regulator (agr) operon. The agr operon contains two transcription units; RNAII, encoding a quorum-sensing system including the master transcriptional activator AgrA, and RNAIII, the effector RNA molecule that regulates virulence gene expression. RNAII and RNAII...
