Directed evolution of Vibrio fischeri LuxR for increased sensitivity to a broad spectrum of acyl-homoserine lactones [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
LuxR-type transcriptional regulators play key roles in quorum-sensing systems that employ acyl-homoserine lactones (acyl-HSLs) as signal molecules.

Biosynthesis, chemical structure, and structure-activity relationship of orfamide lipopeptides produced by Pseudomonas protegens and related species [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Orfamide type cyclic lipopeptides (CLPs) are biosurfactants produced by Pseudomonas and involved in lysis of oomycete zoospores, biocontrol of Rhizoctonia and insecticidal activity against aphids.

In silico Analysis Reveals Distribution of Quorum Sensing Genes and Consistent Presence of LuxR Solos in the Pandoraea Species

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2019
The most common quorum sensing (QS) system in Gram-negative bacteria consists of signaling molecules called N-acyl-homoserine lactones (AHLs), which are synthesized by an enzyme AHL synthase (LuxI) and detected by a transcriptional regulator (LuxR) that ...

Global convergence of quorum-sensing networks [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
In many natural synchronization phenomena, communication between individual elements occurs not directly, but rather through the environment. One of these instances is bacterial quorum sensing, where bacteria release signaling molecules in the ...

The Vibrio fischeri LuxR protein is capable of bidirectional stimulation of transcription and both positive and negative regulation of the luxR gene [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Bacteriology, 1991
Regulation of the genes required for bioluminescence in the marine bacterium Vibrio fischeri (the lux regulon) is a complex process requiring coordination of several systems. The primary level of regulation is mediated by a positive regulatory protein, LuxR, and a small diffusible molecule, N-(3-oxo-hexanoyl)-homoserine lactone, termed autoinducer ...

Ankh‐Score Produces Better Sequence Alignments Than AlphaFold3

open access: yesProteins: Structure, Function, and Bioinformatics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Protein sequence alignment is one of the most fundamental procedures in bioinformatics. Due to its many downstream applications, improvements to this procedure are of great importance. We consider two revolutionary concepts that emerged recently as candidates for improving the state‐of‐the‐art alignment methods: AlphaFold and protein language ...
