Abstract excerpt
The LysR-type transcriptional regulator MvfR (PqsR) (multiple virulence factor regulator) plays a critical role in Pseudomonas aeruginosa pathogenicity via the transcriptional regulation of multiple quorum-sensing (QS)-regulated virulence factors. LasR activates full mvfR transcription, and MvfR subsequently activates pqsA-E expression. This study identifies and characterizes the key cis-regulatory elements...
