Editorial: LuxR Solos Are Becoming Major Players in Cell–Cell Communication in Bacteria [PDF]
Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2015 Quorum sensing (QS) is the ability of microbes to sense and respond to their own population density, which typically results in cooperative activity (Fuqua et al., 1994). This form of microbial communication is important to agriculture and human health as they often participate in the regulation of genes important for host interactions.

The kiwifruit emerging pathogen Pseudomonas syringae pv. actinidiae does not produce AHLs but possesses three luxR solos. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 Pseudomonas syringae pv. actinidiae (Psa) is an emerging phytopathogen causing bacterial canker disease in kiwifruit plants worldwide. Quorum sensing (QS) gene regulation plays important roles in many different bacterial plant pathogens. In this study we

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 ...

LuxR Solos in the Plant Endophyte Kosakonia sp. Strain KO348. [PDF]
Appl Environ Microbiol, 2020 Cell-cell signaling in bacteria allows a synchronized and coordinated behavior of a microbial community. LuxR solos represent a subfamily of proteins in proteobacteria which most commonly detect and respond to signals produced exogenously by other microbes or eukaryotic hosts.

Role of the LuxR solo, SdiA, in eavesdropping on foreign bacteria. [PDF]
FEMS Microbiol RevAbstract Bacteria can cooperate by coordinating their gene expression through the production, release, and detection of small molecules, a phenomenon known as quorum sensing (QS). One type of QS commonly found in Gram-negative bacteria utilizes a LuxI-type enzyme to produce a signaling molecule of the N-acyl-homoserine lactone (AHL ...

Comparative genomic and functional analysis of Arthrobacter sp. UMCV2 reveals the presence of luxR-related genes inducible by the biocompound N, N-dimethylhexadecilamine [PDF]
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2022 Quorum sensing (QS) is a bacterial cell-cell communication system with genetically regulated mechanisms dependent on cell density. Canonical QS systems in gram-negative bacteria possess an autoinducer synthase (LuxI family) and a transcriptional ...

GpaR Drives Type III Secretion and Virulence Through Direct Activation of the HrpG-HrpX Cascade in Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzicola. [PDF]
Mol Plant PatholGpaR directly activates hrpG and hrpX, triggering the HrpG–HrpX cascade to promote virulence in rice and induce the hypersensitive response in nonhost plants, revealing a key upstream regulator of type III secretion and pathogenicity in Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzicola. ABSTRACT Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzicola (Xoc), the causal agent of bacterial leaf
