Transcriptome analysis of the Vibrio fischeri LuxR-LuxI regulon.
The Vibrio fischeri quorum-sensing signal N-3-oxohexanoyl-l-homoserine lactone (3OC6-HSL) activates expression of the seven-gene luminescence operon. We used microarrays to unveil 18 additional 3OC6-HSL-controlled genes, 3 of which had been identified by other means previously. We show most of these genes are regulated by the 3OC6-HSL-responsive transcriptional regulator LuxR directly. This dem...
متن کاملAnalysis of LuxR regulon gene expression during quorum sensing in Vibrio fischeri.
The regulation of the lux operon (luxICDABEG) of Vibrio fischeri has been intensively studied as a model for quorum sensing in proteobacteria. Two-dimensional sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis analysis previously identified several non-Lux proteins in V. fischeri MJ-100 whose expression was dependent on LuxR and 3-oxo-hexanoyl-l-homoserine lactone (3-oxo-C6-HSL). To dete...
متن کاملA mutational analysis defines Vibrio fischeri LuxR binding sites.
Vibrio fischeri quorum sensing involves the LuxI and LuxR proteins. The LuxI protein generates the quorum-sensing signal N-3-oxohexanoyl-l-homoserine lactone (3OC6-HSL), and LuxR is a signal-responsive transcriptional regulator which activates the luminescence (lux) genes and 17 other V. fischeri genes. For activation of the lux genes, LuxR binds to a 20-base-pair inverted repeat, the lux box, ...
متن کاملMutational analysis of the Vibrio fischeri LuxI polypeptide: critical regions of an autoinducer synthase.
Synthesis of the Vibrio fischeri autoinducer, a signal involved in the cell density-dependent activation of bioluminescence, is directed by the luxI gene product. The LuxI protein catalyzes the synthesis of N-acyl-homoserine lactones from S-adenosylmethionine and acylated-acyl carrier protein. We have gained an appreciation of the LuxI regions and amino acid residues involved in autoinducer syn...
متن کاملIn silico Prediction and Docking of Tertiary Structure of LuxI, an Inducer Synthase of Vibrio fischeri
Background: LuxI is a component of the quorum sensing signaling pathway in Vibrio fischeri responsible for the inducer synthesis that is essential for bioluminescence. Methods: Homology modeling of LuxI was carried out using Phyre2 and refined with the GalaxyWEB server. Five models were generated and evaluated by ERRAT, ANOLEA, QMEAN6, and Procheck. Results: Five refined models were gener...
