Conserved hypothetical protein; Involved in the regulation of virulence genes. Acts as a repressor of the agr locus and consequently targets genes regulated by the agr system such as sspA, hla and hlb. Binds directly to the agr promoter region.

Staphylococcal accessory regulator T, putative; Global regulator with both positive and negative effects that controls expression of several virulence factors and biofilm formation process in a cell density-dependent manner. In a strain-dependent manner plays a role in multidrug resistance mechanism. Is required for transcription of primary transcripts RNAII and RNAIII generated by agr (virulence accessory gene regulator) locus. Acts as a transcriptional activator of the genes encoding, among others, for fibronectin binding proteins (fnbA and fnbB), hemolysins (hla, hld, hlgB and hlgC) [...]

Conserved hypothetical protein; Negative regulator of sarA transcription at late exponential and stationary growth phases. It contributes to the modulation of target genes downstream of the sarA regulatory cascade. Also, positively regulates expression of primary transcripts RNAII and RNAIII generated by agr (virulence accessory gene regulator) locus.

Conserved hypothetical protein; Part of the pathway by which MgrA and SarA control autolysis. Involved in regulation of virulence and autolysis genes such as hla, splA, aur, scp, lrgB, scdA and atl. May also act as an activator for the expression of regulatory genes agr, lytSR and ArlRS.

ATP-dependent Clp protease, proteolytic subunit ClpP; Cleaves peptides in various proteins in a process that requires ATP hydrolysis. Has a chymotrypsin-like activity. Plays a major role in the degradation of misfolded proteins. Belongs to the peptidase S14 family.

PTS system, glucose-specific component; The phosphoenolpyruvate-dependent sugar phosphotransferase system (sugar PTS), a major carbohydrate active transport system, catalyzes the phosphorylation of incoming sugar substrates concomitantly with their translocation across the cell membrane. This system is involved in glucose transport.

PTS system glucose-specific IIABC component; The phosphoenolpyruvate-dependent sugar phosphotransferase system (sugar PTS), a major carbohydrate active -transport system, catalyzes the phosphorylation of incoming sugar substrates concomitantly with their translocation across the cell membrane. This system is involved in alpha- and beta-glucoside transport (By similarity).

Ferric uptake regulator-like protein, putative; Manganese-dependent repressor that controls a regulon of oxidative stress resistance and iron-storage proteins. Regulates expression of genes encoding antioxidant proteins, such as katA, ahpCF, bcp and trxB. Also regulates expression of the iron-storage protein ftn, the ferritin-like protein mrgA, the ferric uptake regulator fur, the manganese transporter operon mntABC, and its own expression. May act as a hydrogen peroxide and organic hydroperoxide sensor. Required for full virulence in a murine skin abscess model of infection.

Conserved hypothetical protein; Positive regulator of RNAII and RNAIII in a cell density- dependent manner. It can contribute to the expression of virulence genes controlled by agr. May also regulate target genes via an agr- independent pathway.
