Crystal structure of the quorum-sensing protein TraM and its interaction with the transcriptional regulator TraR.

The Journal of biological chemistry - 4 Jun 2004

Vannini Alessandro, Volpari Cinzia, Di Marco Stefania

Abstract excerpt

Transfer of the tumor-inducing plasmid in Agrobacterium tumefaciens is controlled by a quorum-sensing system whose main components are the transcriptional regulator TraR and its autoinducer. This system allows bacteria to synchronize infection of the host plant when a "quorum" of cells has been r...
