additional information in strains carrying mutations of FemA, femAB, or the femAX genes, the sorting reaction of surface proteins is significantly slowed. Strains carrying mutations in the fem genes display a decreased rate of surface protein precursor cleavage as compared with the wild-type strains, suggesting that the altered cross-bridges slow the anchoring of surface proteins Staphylococcus aureus

General Information

General Information Comment Organism
physiological function surface protein is linked to tri- and monoglycyl cross-bridges of peptidoglycan isolated from femB and femA mutant staphylococci, respectively. No surface protein is found linked directly to the epsilon-amino group of lysyl within the cell wall of a femAX strain Staphylococcus aureus
