Sensing of autoinducer-2 by functionally distinct receptors in prokaryotes [PDF]
Nature Communications, 2020 The small molecule AI-2 acts as a quorum sensing signal, mediating communication within and between many bacterial species. Here, the authors identify a new type of AI-2 receptor, consisting of a dCACHE domain that is present in many bacterial and ...

Autoinducer-2 Facilitates Pseudomonas aeruginosa PAO1 Pathogenicity in Vitro and in Vivo [PDF]
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2017 Bacterial communication systems, such as quorum sensing (QS), have provided new insights of alternative approaches in antimicrobial treatment. We recently reported that one QS signal, named as autoinducer-2 (AI-2), can affect the behaviors of Pseudomonas

Autoinducer 2 Affects Biofilm Formation byBacillus cereus [PDF]
Applied and Environmental Microbiology, 2006 ABSTRACTCell-free supernatants from growingBacillus cereusstrain ATCC 10987 induced luminescence in aPhotorhabdus luminescensΔluxSmutant, indicating the production of functional autoinducer 2 (AI-2). The exogenous addition of in vitro synthesized AI-2 had an inhibitory effect on biofilm formation byB.
