Staphylococcus aureus expresses various cell wall-associated and extracellular virulence factors, coordinately controlled by different two-component signal transduction systems and transcriptional regulators. In this study, we used microarray technology to identify the genes regulated by ArlR. The microarray data indicate that ArlR functions as a positive regulator and also as a negative repressor to directly and/or indirectly mediate the expression of at least 114 genes involved in different functions, including autolysis, cell division, growth, and pathogenesis.
金黄色葡萄球菌表达多种与细胞壁相关的和细胞外毒力因子,这些因子由不同的双组分信号转导系统和转录调节因子协同控制。在本研究中,我们使用微阵列技术来鉴定受ArlR调控的基因。微阵列数据表明,ArlR作为一种正调节因子,同时也作为一种负阻遏物,直接和/或间接介导至少114个参与不同功能(包括自溶、细胞分裂、生长和致病机制)的基因的表达。
