Editorial: LuxR Solos are Becoming Major Players in Cell–Cell Communication in Bacteria [PDF]
Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2015 Bacteria communicate via small diffusible molecules to mediate group-coordinated behavior, a process designated as quorum sensing. The basic molecular quorum sensing system of Gram-negative bacteria consists of a Luxl-type autoinducer synthase producing ...

LuxR Solos from Environmental Fluorescent Pseudomonads [PDF]
mSphere, 2021 LuxR solos are related to quorum sensing (QS) LuxR family regulators; however, they lack a cognate LuxI family protein. LuxR solos are widespread and almost exclusively found in proteobacteria.

Bacterial LuxR solos have evolved to respond to different molecules including signals from plants [PDF]
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2013 A future challenge will be understanding the extensive communication that most likely takes place in bacterial interspecies and interkingdom signaling between plants and bacteria.

Computational Exploration of Putative LuxR Solos in Archaea and Their Functional Implications in Quorum Sensing [PDF]
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 ...

Stenotrophomonas maltophilia responds to exogenous AHL signals through the LuxR solo SmoR (Smlt1839) [PDF]
Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2015 Quorum Sensing (QS) mediated by Acyl Homoserine Lactone (AHL) molecules are probably the most widespread and studied among Gram-negative bacteria. Canonical AHL systems are composed by a synthase (LuxI family) and a regulator element (LuxR family), whose

Census of solo LuxR genes in prokaryotic genomes [PDF]
Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2015 luxR genes encode transcriptional regulators that control acyl homoserine lactone-based quorum sensing (AHL QS) in Gram negative bacteria. On the bacterial chromosome, luxR genes are usually found next or near to a luxI gene encoding the AHL signal ...

A bioinformatic survey of distribution, conservation and probable functions of LuxR solo regulators in bacteria [PDF]
Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2015 LuxR solo transcriptional regulators contain both an autoinducer binding domain (ABD; N-terminal) and a DNA binding Helix-Turn-Helix domain (HTH; C-terminal), but are not associated with a cognate N-acyl homoserine lactone (AHL) synthase coding gene in ...

Interkingdom Signaling of the Insect Pathogen Photorhabdus luminescens with Plants Via the LuxR solo SdiA [PDF]
Microorganisms, 2023 In bacteria, group-coordinated behavior such as biofilm formation or virulence are often mediated via cell–cell communication, a process referred to as quorum sensing (QS). The canonical QS system of Gram-negative bacteria uses N-acyl homoserine lactones

XocR, a LuxR solo required for virulence in Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzicola [PDF]
Frontiers 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 ...
