The extracellular SspA protease of the human pathogen S. aureus is essential for evading the host immune defence system. Two novel FRET probes for selective real-time ratiometric imaging of SspA activity in live S. aureus cells are reported.
金黄色葡萄球菌(S. aureus)是人病原体的细胞外 SspA 蛋白酶,对于逃避宿主免疫系统至关重要。本文报道了两种新型的 FRET 探针,可用于实时选择性比率成像活金黄色葡萄球菌细胞中的 SspA 活性。
