Abstract excerpt
The plant pathogen Pectobacterium carotovorum subsp. carotovorum (Pcc) regulates the expression of virulence factors by N-acylhomoserine lactone (AHL)-mediated quorum sensing. The LuxI family protein, ExpI, catalyzes AHL biosynthesis in Pcc. The structure of the predominant AHL produced by ExpI differs among Pcc strains, which may be divided into two quorum-sensing classes (QS classes) based on the AHL produced....
