摘要: The Staphylococcus aureus gamma-hemolysin comprises two polypeptides, whereas the locus (hlg) contains three open reading frames. hlgA and hlgB genes encode gamma 1 2 components, respectively. HlgB protein (gamma 2) has 27% residue identity with S. alpha-toxin. Surprisingly, hlgC are 98.5 99.1% identical to lukF lukS genes, respectively, encoding F S components of Panton-Valentine leukocidin.
