Abstract excerpt
An antivirulence agent against Vibrio vulnificus named quoromycin (QM) was discovered by a phenotype-based elastase inhibitor screening. Using the fluorescence difference in two-dimensional gel electrophoresis (FITGE) approach, SmcR, a quorum-sensing master regulator and homologue of LuxR, was identified as the target protein of QM. We confirmed that the direct binding of QM to SmcR inhibits the quorum-sensing...
