摘要: Sortase A (SrtA) is a cysteine transpeptidase of most Gram-positive bacteria that responsible for the anchorage many surface protein virulence factors to cell wall layer. SrtA mutants are unable display proteins and defective in establishment infections without affecting microbial viability. In this study, we report quercitrin (QEN), natural compound does not affect Staphylococcus aureus growth, can inhibit catalytic activity fibrinogen (Fg) cell-clumping immobilized fibronectin (Fn) adhesion assays. Molecular dynamics simulations mutagenesis assays suggest QEN binds binding sites G167A V193A mutants. These findings indicate potential lead development new anti-virulence agents against S. infections.
