Abstract excerpt
Pseudomonas aeruginosa secretes multiple proteases that are implicated in its pathogenesis, and most of them are regulated by quorum sensing (QS). In this study, we found that the activities of three major extracellular proteases, protease IV (PIV), elastase A (LasA), and elastase B (LasB), are reduced considerably when expressed in a QS mutant (MW1). PIV and LasA expressed in MW1 exhibited little activity, even...
