We found that the global regulatory two-component signal transduction system CovRS mediates the ability of group A streptococcus (GAS) to grow under two stresses encountered during infection: iron starvation and the presence of LL-37. We also showed that CovRS regulates transcription of the multimetal transporter operon that is important for GAS growth in a low concentration of iron.
我们发现,全局调控双组分信号转导系统CovRS介导A组链球菌(GAS)在感染过程中遇到的两种应激条件下生长的能力:铁饥饿和LL-37的存在。我们还表明,CovRS调节多金属转运蛋白操纵子的转录,该操纵子对低铁浓度下GAS的生长很重要。
