Journal Article
Expression of the genes for lysostaphin and lysostaphin resistance in streptococci
2003
Overview
To determine if the genes for lysostaphin endopeptidase (
end) and lysostaphin resistance (
epr) function in streptococci, we transferred these genes from
Staphylococcus simulans biovar
staphylolyticus into two strains of
Streptococcus equi subsp.
zooepidemicus. The
end-containing streptococci were able to produce and process proendopeptidase. Strains containing
epr were more resistant to lysis by the streptococcolytic enzyme zoocin A and amino acid analysis of the peptidoglycans of the
epr-containing streptococci revealed insertion of serines in their cross bridges. This is the first report of the transfer of a
femABX-like immunity factor resulting in a physiologically useful effect in a different genus.
