The AgrA transcription factor regulates the quorum-sensing response in Staphylococcus aureus, controlling the production of hemolysins and other virulence factors. AgrA binds to DNA via its C-terminal LytTR domain, a domain not found in humans but common in many pathogenic bacteria, making it a potential target for antimicrobial development ...
