Cyclophilin (Cyp), a peptidyl-prolyl cis-trans isomerase (PPIase), acts as a virulence factor in many bacteria including Staphylococcus aureus. The enzymatic activity of Cyp is inhibited …
SarA, a Staphylococcus aureus-specific dimeric protein, modulates the expression of numerous proteins including various virulence factors. Interestingly, S. aureus synthesizes …

FKBP22, an Escherichia coli-specific peptidyl-prolyl cis-trans isomerase, shows substantial homology with the Mip-like virulence factors. Mip-like proteins are homodimeric and possess …
The mce1 operon of Mycobacterium tuberculosis, important for lipid metabolism/transport, host cell invasion, modulation of host immune response and pathogenicity, is under the …
The lysogenic growth of phage ф11 in Staphylococcus aureus is controlled by a repressor (CI) that harbors an N-terminal domain (NTD), and a C-terminal domain (CTD). Previously …
σB, an alternative sigma factor, is usually employed to tackle the general stress response in Staphylococcus aureus and other Gram-positive bacteria. This protein, involved in S. aureus …
SaCyp, a cyclophilin having 197 amino acid residues, acts both as a protein-folding catalyst and a virulence factor in Staphylococcus aureus. Interestingly, a region, homologous to the …
