Conversion of the Vibrio fischeri Transcriptional Activator, LuxR, to a Repressor [PDF]
Journal of Bacteriology, 2000 ABSTRACT The Vibrio fischeri luminescence ( lux ) operon is regulated by a quorum-sensing system that involves the transcriptional activator (LuxR) and an acyl-homoserine lactone signal. Transcriptional activation requires the presence of a 20-base inverted repeat termed the

Functional Characterisation of the Quorum-Sensing Regulator ExpR<sub>Ecz</sub> in Modulation of Dickeya oryzae Motility and Virulence. [PDF]
Mol Plant PatholIn the absence of OHHL synthase ExpIEcz, ExpREcz represses self‐expression via EDDR region and regulates Dickeya oryzae virulence traits. OHHL synthesised via ExpIEcz abolishes ExpREcz function but promotes OHHL production and D. oryzae virulence.

Intragenic suppression of a mutation: Characterization of an autoinducer-independent LuxR [PDF]
FEMS Microbiology Letters, 1995 The Vibrio fischeri luminescence genes are activated by the LuxR protein and a diffusible signal termed the autoinducer. LuxR consists of two domains, a C-terminal transcriptional activator domain, and an N-terminal autoinducer-binding domain, which serves to regulate the function of the C-terminal domain.

Orphan LuxR regulators of quorum sensing [PDF]
FEMS Microbiology Reviews, 2009 Bacteria can modulate their behavior by releasing and responding to the accumulation of signal molecules. This population co-ordination, referred to as quorum sensing, is prevalent in Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria. The essential constituents of quorum-sensing systems include a signal producer, or synthase, and a cognate transcriptional ...

Microbial Primer: LuxR-LuxI Quorum Sensing.
Microbiology (Reading, England), 2023 Quorum sensing is a term describing bacterial cell-to-cell communication systems for monitoring and responding to changes in population density. This primer serves as an introduction to the canonical LuxR-LuxI-type quorum sensing circuits common to many species of Gram-negative bacteria.

LitR directly upregulates autoinducer synthesis and luminescence in Aliivibrio logei [PDF]
PeerJ, 2021 LitR is a master-regulator of transcription in the ainS/R and luxS/PQ quorum sensing (QS) systems of bacteria from Vibrio and Aliivibrio genera. Here, we for the first time directly investigated the influence of LitR on gene expression in the luxI/R QS ...
