Abstract:Whilst a large number of regulatory mechanisms for gene expression have been characterised to date, transcription regulation in bacteria still remains an open subject. In clinically relevant and opportunistic pathogens, such as Staphylococcus aureus, transcription regulation is of great importance for host-pathogen interactions. In our study we investigated an operon, exclusive to staphylococci, that we name saoABC. We showed that SaoC binds to a conserved sequence motif present upstream of the saoC gene, whic… Show more
“…Bukowski et al [ 13 ] characterized a novel transcription factor SaoC and its antagonist SaoB in S. aureus. Both genes are located in the saoABC operon, which is specific to the genus Staphylococcus and encodes three annotated hypothetical proteins.…”

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
