The cytoplasmic loops of AgrC contribute to the quorum-sensing activity of Staphylococcus aureus
17 Nov 2020
Abstract excerpt
In Staphylococcus aureus, the accessory gene regulator (agr) quorum-sensing system is thought to play an important role in biofilm formation. The histidine kinase AgrC is one of the agr system components and activated by the self-generated auto-inducing peptide (AIP), which is released continuously into the extracellular environment during bacterial growth. The extracellular loops (Extra-loops) of AgrC are...
