    Role of N-terminal protein formylation in central metabolic processes in Staphylococcus aureus

    Bacterial protein biosynthesis usually depends on a formylated methionyl start tRNA but Staphylococcus aureus is viable in the absence of Fmt, the tRNAMet formyl transferase. fmt mutants exhibit reduced growth ra...

    Transcriptomic and metabolic responses of Staphylococcus aureus exposed to supra-physiological temperatures

    Previous evaluation by different molecular and physiological assays of Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) responses to heat shock exposure yielded a still fragmentary view of the mechanisms determining bacterial s...

    The GraRS regulatory system controls Staphylococcus aureus susceptibility to antimicrobial host defenses

    Modification of teichoic acids with D-alanine by the products of the dlt operon protects Gram-positive bacteria against major antimicrobial host defense molecules such as defensins, cathelicidins, myeloperoxidase...
