Abstract excerpt
The Clostridioides difficile accessory gene regulator 1 (agr1) locus consists of two genes, agrB1 and agrD1, that presumably constitute an autoinducing peptide (AIP) system. Typically, AIP systems function through the AgrB-mediated processing of AgrD to generate a processed form of the AIP that provides a concentration-dependent extracellular signal. Here, we show that the C. difficile 630 Agr1 system has...
