Surface proteins responsible for adhesion and invasion of host tissues (e.g.,
fibrinogen and fibronectin-binding proteins)
(A) Genetic loci of S. aureus Newman containing the NRPS gene.The NRPS locus
is found in all sequenced S. aureus genomes. The NRPS cluster contains two
open reading frames: ausA (the NRPS gene) and immediately downstream of it
ausB (phosphopantetheinyl transferase). ausB encodes the enzyme (AusB)
predicted to posttranslationally modify AusA with a 4′-phosphopantetheine
prosthetic group.
A major class of bacterial secondary metabolites comprises the
nonribosomal peptides, which are produced, in microorganisms, by
multifunctional enzyme assembly lines known as nonribosomal peptide
synthetases (NRPSs)
Although penicillin was the first nonribosomal peptide used for S. aureus
infections, S. aureus itself has not previously been shown to construct
nonribosomal peptides.
