Abstract excerpt
The transcriptional regulator PlcR, its cognate cell-cell signaling heptapeptide PapR7, and the oligopeptide permease OppABCDF, required for PapR7 import, form a quorum-sensing system that controls the expression of virulence factors in Bacillus cereus and Bacillus thuringiensis species. In B. cereus strain ATCC 14579, the transcriptional regulator PlcRa activates the expression of abrB2 gene, which encodes an...
