agr function in clinical Staphylococcus aureus isolates.

The accessory gene regulator (agr) of Staphylococcus aureus is a global regulator of the staphylococcal virulon, which includes secreted virulence factors and surface proteins. The agr locus is important for virulence in a variety of animal models of infection, and has been assumed by inference to have a major role in human infection. Although most human clinical S.

Pretranslational control of Menkes disease gene expression.

The gene for Menkes disease codes for a Cu-transporting ATPase that regulates Cu homeostasis in all tissues with the exception of adult liver. The basis for developmental or tissue-specific regulation at present is not understood. To learn if the regulation is associated with the promoter, we cloned and sequenced a 2.
