The quorum sensing transcription factor AphA directly regulates natural competence in <i>Vibrio cholerae</i>

2019-08-12

Abstract excerpt

<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> Many bacteria use population density to control gene expression via quorum sensing. In Vibrio cholerae , quorum sensing coordinates virulence, biofilm formation, and DNA uptake by natural competence. The transcription factors AphA and HapR, expressed at low- and high-cell density respectively, play a key role. In particular, AphA triggers the entire virulence cascade upon host colonisation. In...
