RESUMO

FkpA is a peptidylprolyl isomerase whose expression is regulated by the alternative sigma factor, sigma factor E (σE). In contrast to the results of a previous report, inactivation of fkpA was found to have only a minor effect on the ability of Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium to invade and survive within epithelial and macrophage cell lines and cause infection in mice. However, an effect of the fkpA mutation on serovar Typhimurium virulence was seen if the mutation was combined with mutations in surA or htrA, two other σE-regulated genes, which encode proteins involved in protein folding and/or degradation in the periplasm.
