Mammalian Group IIA phospholipases A(2) (PLA(2)) potently kill Staphylococcus aureus. Highly cationic properties of these PLA(2) are important for Ca2+-independent binding and cell wall penetration, prerequisites for Ca2+- dependent degradation of membrane phospholipids and bacterial killing. To further delineate charge properties of the bacterial envelope important in Group IIA PLA(2) action against S. aureus, we examined the effects of mutations that prevent specific modifications of cell wall (dltA) and cell membrane (mprF) polyanions. In comparison to the parent strain, isogenic dltA(-) bacteria are similar to30-100x more sensitive to PLA(2), whereas mprF(-) bacteria are
