Expression of the gene encoding protein A in Staphylococcus aureus and coagulase-negative staphylococci
M Uhlén et al. J Bacteriol. 1984 Aug.
Abstract
Two shuttle vectors containing the gene for protein A (spa) from Staphylococcus aureus have been constructed to study expression of the gene in various strains of S. aureus and in the coagulase-negative species Staphylococcus epidermidis, Staphylococcus capitis, and Staphylococcus xylosus. One plasmid, pSPA15, contains the complete structural gene for protein A, which binds to the cell wall in various Staphylococcus species. The other plasmid, pSPA16, codes for a truncated protein A lacking the C-terminal part called region X. The latter is exclusively extracellular in all Staphylococcus species tested, which confirms the importance of region X for cell wall binding. The expression of the plasmid-coded protein A in various strains of S. aureus is strongly correlated to the expression of the chromosomal spa gene. The coagulase-negative species expressing plasmid-encoded protein A produce 12 to 30% of the amount coded by the chromosomal spa gene in S. aureus strains Cowan I and A676.
