The Staphylococcus aureus autoinducer-2 (AI-2) producer protein LuxS is phosphorylated by the Ser/Thr kinase Stk1 at a unique position, Thr14. The enzymatic activity of the phosphorylated isoform of LuxS was abrogated compared to that of nonphosphorylated LuxS, thus providing the first evidence of an AI-2-producing enzyme regulated by phosphorylation and demonstrating that S. aureus possesses an original and specific system for controlling AI-2 synthesis.
金黄色葡萄球菌自诱导物-2(AI-2)产生蛋白 LuxS 在一个独特的位置 Thr14 被 Ser/Thr 激酶 Stk1 磷酸化。与非磷酸化 LuxS 相比,磷酸化同工型的 LuxS 的酶活性被阻断,从而首次提供了一种 AI-2 产生酶受磷酸化调节的证据,并证明金黄色葡萄球菌拥有一种原始而特异的系统来控制 AI-2 的合成。
