Characterization of the Ers regulon of Enterococcus faecalis.
Ers has been qualified as the PrfA-like transcriptional regulator of Enterococcus faecalis. In a previous study we reported that Ers is important for the survival within macrophages of this opportunist pathogenic bacterium. In the present work we have used proteomic and microarray expression profiling of E. faecalis JH2-2 and an ers-deleted mutant (Delta ers mutant) strains to define the Ers re...
متن کاملIdentification of srv, a PrfA-like regulator of group A streptococcus that influences virulence.
We have identified a Crp/Fnr-like transcriptional regulator of Streptococcus pyogenes that when inactivated attenuates virulence. The gene, named srv for streptococcal regulator of virulence, encodes a 240-amino-acid protein with 53% amino acid similarity to PrfA, a transcriptional activator of virulence in Listeria monocytogenes.
متن کاملContribution of a PerR-like regulator to the oxidative-stress response and virulence of Enterococcus faecalis.
PerR is one of the most important transcriptional regulators involved in the oxidative-stress response in Bacillus subtilis. Here, the homologous gene in Enterococcus faecalis, ranked among the leading causes of nosocomial infection, was characterized and analysed. Phenotype analysis showed that the perR mutant was significantly more resistant to H2O2 challenge (P < 0.05). Expression of eight g...
متن کاملCharacterization of fsr, a regulator controlling expression of gelatinase and serine protease in Enterococcus faecalis OG1RF.
We have previously identified a locus, fsr, a homologue of staphylococcal agr loci, which positively regulates the expression of gelatinase and serine protease (encoded by gelE and sprE, respectively) in Enterococcus faecalis OG1RF. The expression of the three genes in the fsr locus, fsrA, fsrB, and fsrC, appears to be autoregulated, and we have shown that mutants with insertion disruptions in ...
متن کاملA trans-Acting Riboswitch Controls Expression of the Virulence Regulator PrfA in Listeria monocytogenes
Riboswitches are RNA elements acting in cis, controlling expression of their downstream genes through a metabolite-induced alteration of their secondary structure. Here, we demonstrate that two S-adenosylmethionine (SAM) riboswitches, SreA and SreB, can also function in trans and act as noncoding RNAs in Listeria monocytogenes. SreA and SreB control expression of the virulence regulator PrfA by...
