A structurally novel staphylococcal protein A from the V8 strain.

Abstract:

:Protein A from the Staphylococcus aureus strain V8 has a molecular mass about 8000 Da less than that of known proteins A. The corresponding gene was cloned and expressed in Escherichia coli. Sequence analysis of this structurally new protein A revealed that it lacked an IgG-binding domain (58 amino acids), and that it also lacked two octapeptide repetitions located in the membrane/wall attaching region. Contrary to what had been proposed previously, the first translated amino acid is probably not a leucine, but very likely a methionine located 12 residues upstream.

  • Activation of FNR-dependent transcription by iron: an in vitro switch for FNR.

    abstract::FNR is an iron-binding transcriptional regulator of Escherichia coli which controls the expression of target genes in response to anaerobiosis. The mechanism used by FNR to sense and respond to anaerobiosis is unknown but it is thought to involve iron. In vitro transcription analyses have shown that iron-deficient FNR...
