Journal ArticleDOI
Extracellular proteases are key mediators of Staphylococcus aureus virulence via the global modulation of virulence-determinant stability.
Stacey L. Kolar,J. Antonio Ibarra,Frances E. Rivera,Joe M. Mootz,Jessica E. Davenport,Stanley M. Stevens,Alexander R. Horswill,Lindsey N. Shaw +7 more
TL;DR: It is shown that exo‐proteases are required for growth in peptide‐rich environments, serum, in the presence of antimicrobial peptides (AMPs), and in human blood, and that extracellular proteases are important for resisting phagocytosis by human leukocytes.
Journal ArticleDOI
NsaRS is a Cell-Envelope-Stress-Sensing two-Component System of Staphylococcus Aureus
Stacey L. Kolar,Vijayaraj Nagarajan,Anna Oszmiana,Frances E. Rivera,Halie K. Miller,Jessica E. Davenport,James T. Riordan,Jan Potempa,David S. Barber,Joanna Koziel,Mohamed O. Elasri,Lindsey N. Shaw +11 more
TL;DR: A characterization of NsaRS is presented and it is revealed that it responds to disruptions in the cell envelope and functions to reprogram gene expression to modify cell envelope architecture, facilitating adaptation and survival.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Extracytoplasmic Function Sigma Factor σS Protects against both Intracellular and Extracytoplasmic Stresses in Staphylococcus aureus
Halie K. Miller,Ronan K. Carroll,Whittney N. Burda,Christina N. Krute,Jessica E. Davenport,Lindsey N. Shaw +5 more
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that sigS expression is inducible upon exposure to a variety of chemical stressors that elicit DNA damage, including methyl methanesulfonate and ciprofloxacin, as well as those that disrupt cell wall stability, such as ampicillin and oxacillin.
Journal ArticleDOI
Identification of an intracellular M17 family leucine aminopeptidase that is required for virulence in Staphylococcus aureus
Ronan K. Carroll,Tiffany M. Robison,Frances E. Rivera,Jessica E. Davenport,Ing-Marie Jonsson,Danuta Florczyk,Andrej Tarkowski,Jan Potempa,Jan Potempa,Joanna Koziel,Lindsey N. Shaw +10 more
TL;DR: For the first time an intracellular leucine aminopeptidase (LAP, pepZ) is identified that influences disease causation in a Gram-positive bacterium.
