Bacillus subtilis regulatory protein GerE [PDF]

open access: yes, 1998
GerE is the latest-acting of a series of factors which regulate gene expression in the mother cell during sporulation in Bacillus. The gene encoding GerE has been cloned from B. subtilis and overexpressed in Escherichia coli.

Structural and Mechanistic Roles of Novel Chemical Ligands on the SdiA Quorum-Sensing Transcription Regulator

open access: yesmBio, 2015
Bacteria engage in chemical signaling, termed quorum sensing (QS), to mediate intercellular communication, mimicking multicellular organisms. The LuxR family of QS transcription factors regulates gene expression, coordinating population behavior by ...

Identification of virulence markers in clinically relevant strains of Acinetobacter genospecies [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Nine Acinetobacter strains from patients and hospital environment were analyzed for virulence markers, quorum sensing signal production, and the presence of luxI and luxR genes.

Molecular docking analysis of LuxR with Octylbenzene

open access: yes
Abstract LuxR-type transcriptional regulators mediate quorum sensing (QS) in Gram-negative bacteria by binding acyl-homoserine lactones (AHLs). Therefore, it is of interest to describe the molecular docking analysis of LuxR with octylbenzene (CID:16607), a non-natural hydrophobic ligand.AutoDock Vina predicted a stable pose (–3.0 kcal ...

PpoR is a conserved unpaired LuxR solo of Pseudomonas putida which binds N-acyl homoserine lactones

open access: yesBMC Microbiology, 2009
Background Only a small number of Pseudomonas putida strains possess the typical N-acyl homoserine lactone quorum sensing system (AHL QS) that consists of a modular LuxR family protein and its cognate LuxI homolog that produces the AHL signal.

Expression of virulence genes in luminescent and nonluminescent isogenic vibrios and virulence towards gnotobiotic brine shrimp (Artemia franciscana) [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Aims: This study aimed to evaluate the expression levels of virulence gene regulators (luxR and toxR) and virulence factors (serine protease, metalloprotease and haemolysin) in luminescent and nonluminescent isogenic Vibrio harveyi and Vibrio campbellii ...

XocR, a LuxR solo required for virulence in Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzicola

open access: yesFrontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2015
Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzicola (Xoc) causes bacterial leaf streak (BLS) in rice, a serious bacterial disease of rice in Asia and parts of Africa. The virulence mechanisms of Xoc are not entirely clear and control measures for BLS are poorly developed ...

Non-native autoinducer analogs capable of modulating the SdiA quorum sensing receptor in Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium

open access: yesBeilstein Journal of Organic Chemistry, 2018
Quorum sensing (QS) allows many common bacterial pathogens to coordinate group behaviors such as virulence factor production, host colonization, and biofilm formation at high population densities. This cell–cell signaling process is regulated by N-acyl L-

Characterization of phenotype variations of luminescent and non-luminescent variants of Vibrio harveyi wild type and quorum sensing mutants

open access: yes, 2016
Vibrio harveyi, a luminescent Gram-negative motile marine bacterium, is an important pathogen responsible for causing severe diseases in shrimp, finfish and molluscs leading to severe economic losses.
