Abstract excerpt
Two independent quorum-sensing systems control the expression of bioluminescence (lux) in the marine bacterium Vibrio harveyi. Each system is composed of an autoinducer (AI-1 or AI-2) and its cognate sensor (LuxN or LuxQ). The sensors are two-component hybrid kinases, containing both sensor kinase domains and response regulator domains. Sensory information from the two systems is relayed by a phosphotransfer...
