Figure 6.
Schematic drawing summarizing the regulatory networks involving RsaA and its mRNA targets in Staphylococcus aureus. RsaA activated by σB binds to mgrA, flr and ssaA mRNAs to inhibit their translation. The role of RsaA interaction with HG001_01977 is still unclear. Arrows are for activation, bars for repression. In blue are the transcriptional protein regulators, in red the regulatory RNA and in grey the virulence factors. Red lines corresponded to post-transcriptional regulation and black lines to transcriptional regulation. Dotted line represented the regulatory events for which direct regulation is not yet demonstrated.
