Phenylacetyl-CoA, not phenylacetic acid, attenuates CepIR-regulated virulence in <i>Burkholderia cenocepacia</i>
2019-07-13
Abstract excerpt
During phenylalanine catabolism, phenylacetic acid (PAA) is converted to phenylacetyl-CoA (PAA-CoA) by a ligase, PaaK, and then epoxidized by a multicomponent monooxygenase, PaaABCDE, before further degradation to the TCA cycle. In the opportunistic pathogen Burkholderia cenocepacia, loss of paaABCDE attenuates virulence factor expression, which is under control of the LuxIR-like quorum sensing system, CepIR. To...
