Direct binding of the quorum sensing regulator CepR of Burkholderia cenocepacia to two target promoters in vitro
15 Jun 2005
Abstract excerpt
Burkholderia cenocepacia is an opportunistic human pathogen that can aggressively colonize the cystic fibrosis lung. This organism has a LuxR/LuxI-type quorum sensing system that enables cell-cell communication via exchange of acyl homoserine lactones (AHLs). The CepR and CepI proteins constitute a global regulatory system, controlling expression of at least 40 genes, including those controlling swarming motility...
