Conservation and Evolutionary Dynamics of the <i>agr</i> Cell-to-Cell Communication System across Firmicutes

13 Oct 2007

Abstract excerpt

We present evidence that the agr cell-to-cell communication system is present across firmicutes, including the human pathogen Clostridium perfringens. Although we find that the agr system is evolutionarily conserved and that the general functions which it regulates are similar in different species, the individual regulated genes are not the same. This suggests that the regulatory network controlled by agr is...
