Computational Exploration of Putative LuxR Solos in Archaea and Their Functional Implications in Quorum Sensing

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2017
LuxR solos are unexplored in Archaea, despite their vital role in the bacterial regulatory network. They assist bacteria in perceiving acyl homoserine lactones (AHLs) and/or non-AHLs signaling molecules for establishing intraspecies, interspecies, and ...

AphA and LuxR/HapR reciprocally control quorum sensing in vibrios [PDF]

Genes & Development, 2011
Bacteria cycle between periods when they perform individual behaviors and periods when they perform group behaviors. These transitions are controlled by a cell–cell communication process called quorum sensing, in which extracellular signal molecules, called autoinducers (AIs), are released, accumulate, and are synchronously detected by a group of ...

GUBS, a Behavior-based Language for Open System Dedicated to Synthetic Biology

, 2012
In this article, we propose a domain specific language, GUBS (Genomic Unified Behavior Specification), dedicated to the behavioral specification of synthetic biological devices, viewed as discrete open dynamical systems.

Robust and sensitive control of a quorum‐sensing circuit by two interlocked feedback loops

Molecular Systems Biology, 2008
The quorum‐sensing (QS) response of Vibrio fischeri involves a rapid switch between low and high induction states of the lux operon over a narrow concentration range of the autoinducer (AI) 3‐oxo‐hexanoyl‐L‐homoserine lactone.

The evolution of bacterial LuxI and LuxR quorum sensing regulators [PDF]

Microbiology, 2001
Quorum sensing is a widespread form of bacterial communication in which individual cells produce and respond to specific N-acyl homoserine lactone signal metabolites. The different autoinducer synthases that generate these signals and the receptor/activator proteins that mediate the cell's response to them constitute evolutionarily conserved families ...

PcsR2 Is a LuxR-Type Regulator That Is Upregulated on Wheat Roots and Is Unique to Pseudomonas chlororaphis

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2020
LuxR solos are common in plant-associated bacteria and increasingly recognized for playing important roles in plant-microbe interkingdom signaling. Unlike the LuxR-type transcriptional regulators of prototype LuxR/LuxI quorum sensing systems, luxR solos ...
