A novel membrane-associated protein, MsrR, was identified in Staphylococcus aureus which affects resistance to methicillin and teicoplanin, as well as the synthesis of virulence factors. MsrR belongs to the LytR-CpsA-Psr family of cell envelope-related transcriptional attenuators and was shown to be inducible by cell wall-active agents, such as beta-lactams, glycopeptides, and lysostaphin. The expression of msrR peaked in the early exponential growth phase and decreased sharply thereafter. msrR mutants showed increased sarA transcription and an earlier and higher expression of RNAIII, resulting in altered expression of virulence factors such as alpha-toxin and protein A. These observations suggest that MsrR is a new component involved in sarA attenuation and the regulatory network controlling virulence gene expression in S. aureus.
