Abstract Iron-sulfur (Fe/S) proteins are present in virtually all living organisms and are
involved in numerous cellular processes such as respiration, photosynthesis, metabolic …

Building iron-sulfur (Fe-S) clusters and assembling Fe-S proteins are essential actions for
life on Earth. The three processes that sustain life, photosynthesis, nitrogen fixation, and …

Biofilms are communities of microorganisms attached to a surface or each other. Biofilm-
associated cells are the etiologic agents of recurrent Staphylococcus aureus infections …

Lipoyl synthase (LipA) catalyzes the last step in the biosynthesis of the lipoyl cofactor, which
is the attachment of two sulfhydryl groups to C6 and C8 of a pendant octanoyl chain. The …

Biogenesis of iron-sulfur (Fesingle bondS) clusters in an essential process in living
organisms due to the critical role of Fesingle bondS cluster proteins in myriad cell functions …

Staphylococcus aureus is clearly the most pathogenic member of the Staphylococcaceae.
This is in large part due to the acquisition of an impressive arsenal of virulence factors that …

Staphylococcus aureus remains a causative agent for morbidity and mortality worldwide.
This is in part a result of antimicrobial resistance, highlighting the need to uncover novel …

S. aureus USA300 isolates utilize the copBL and copAZ gene products to prevent Cu
intoxication. We created and examined a ΔcopAZ ΔcopBL mutant strain (cop‐). The cop …

As complications associated with antibiotic resistance have intensified, copper (Cu) is
attracting attention as an antimicrobial agent. Recent studies have shown that copper …

The SrrAB two-component regulatory system (TCRS) positively influences the transcription
of genes involved in aerobic respiration in response to changes in respiratory flux. Hydrogen …
