The staphylococcal accessory regulator SarA and the alternative sigma factor sigma(B) have been previously identified as positive regulators, and IcaR as a negative regulator, of icaADBC expression. Here, we show that in Staphylococcus aureus SarA and sigma(B) are also required for icaR expression and that IcaR does not have a significant effect on its own expression.
葡萄球菌辅助调节因子SarA和替代西格玛因子西格玛B先前已被确定为icaADBC表达的正调节因子,而IcaR为负调节因子。在此,我们表明,在金黄色葡萄球菌中,SarA和西格玛B也是icaR表达所必需的,并且IcaR对其自身表达没有显著影响。
