Lipoteichoic acid biosynthesis by Staphylococcus aureus is controlled by the MspA protein through competitive interference.

D. Bonini, S. Duggan, A. A. Alnahari, T. Brignoli, H. Strahl, R. C. Massey

This study shows that MspA regulates lipoteichoic acid levels in S. aureus by interfering with LtaA-LtaS interactions, affecting cell size and pathogenicity.

Wall teichoic acids facilitate the release of toxins from the surface of Staphylococcus aureus.

T. Brignoli, E. J. Douglas, S. Duggan, O. G. Fagunloye, R. P. Adhikari, J. Aman, R. C. Massey

This study identifies wall teichoic acids (WTA) as essential for the release of cytolytic toxins from Staphylococcus aureus by altering the electrostatic charge of the cell envelope.

The MpsB protein contributes to both the toxicity and immune evasion capacity of Staphylococcus aureus.

E. J. A. Douglas, S. Duggan, T. Brignoli, R. C. Massey

This study identifies mpsB as a gene contributing to Staphylococcus aureus toxicity and immune evasion, linking it to disease severity and mortality.

A small membrane protein critical to both the offensive and defensive capabilities of Staphylococcus aureus.

R. C. Massey, S. Duggan, M. Laabei, A. Alnahari, E. O'Brien, K. Lacey, L. Bacon, K. Heesom, C.-L. Fu, M. Otto, E. Skaar, R. McLoughlin

This study identifies and characterizes MasA, a small membrane protein in S. aureus that disrupts toxin production and immune resistance when inactivated, impairing infection in multiple models.
