The Extracytoplasmic Function Sigma Factor SigV Plays a Key Role in the Original Model of Lysozyme Resistance and Virulence of Enterococcus faecalis (original) (raw)
Figure 1
Structural organization of sigV, oatA, dltA and mprF loci.
Large arrows correspond to the indicated genes. Grey areas show the deleted region by double cross over event and that of sigV locus (harbouring an asterisk) represents the deletion carried out in SAS mutant strain. The solid triangle positioned on EF0031 shows the insertion site of the integrative pUCB300-mprF recombinant plasmid generating the mprF mutant. The putative promoters and terminators are indicated with P and T letters, respectively. Primers used to construct the different mutants are indicated by black arrows, and listed in Table 4.
