THREE-DIMENSIONAL STRUCTURE OF S.AUREUS METHICILLIN-RESISTANCE REGULATING TRANSCRIPTIONAL REPRESSOR MECI.
|
Overview
Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus is the main cause of, nosocomial and community-onset infections that affect millions of people, worldwide. Some methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus infections, have become essentially untreatable by beta-lactams because of acquired, molecular machineries enabling antibiotic resistance. Evasion from, methicillin challenge is mainly achieved by the synthesis of a, penicillin-binding protein of low affinity for antibiotics, MecA, that, replaces regular penicillin-binding proteins in cell wall turnover when, these have been inactivated by antibiotics. MecA synthesis is regulated by, a signal transduction system consisting of the sensor/transducer MecR1 and, the 14-kDa transcriptional repressor MecI (also known as methicillin, repressor) that ...
