The phosphoenolpyruvate phosphotransferase system regulates Vibrio cholerae biofilm formation through multiple independent pathways.
The bacterial phosphoenolpyruvate phosphotransferase system (PTS) is a highly conserved phosphotransfer cascade that participates in the transport and phosphorylation of selected carbohydrates and modulates many cellular functions in response to carbohydrate availability. It plays a role in the virulence of many bacterial pathogens. Components of the carbohydrate-specific PTS include the genera...
متن کاملSpermidine regulates Vibrio cholerae bio¢lm formation via transport and signaling pathways
Vibrio cholerae, the causative agent of the devastating diarrheal disease cholera, canform biofilms on diverse biotic and abiotic surfaces. Biofilm formation is important for the survival of this organism both in its natural environment and in the human host. Development of V. cholerae biofilms are regulated by complex regulatory networks that respond to environmental signals. One of these sign...

متن کاملTemporal quorum-sensing induction regulates Vibrio cholerae biofilm architecture.
Vibrio cholerae, the pathogen that causes cholera, also survives in aqueous reservoirs, probably in the form of biofilms. Quorum sensing negatively regulates V. cholerae biofilm formation through HapR, whose expression is induced at a high cell density. In this study, we show that the concentration of the quorum-sensing signal molecule CAI-1 is higher in biofilms than in planktonic cultures. By...
متن کاملGlucose-Specific Enzyme IIA Has Unique Binding Partners in The Vibrio cholerae Biofilm
UNLABELLED Glucose-specific enzyme IIA (EIIA(Glc)) is a central regulator of bacterial metabolism and an intermediate in the phosphoenolpyruvate phosphotransferase system (PTS), a conserved phosphotransfer cascade that controls carbohydrate transport. We previously reported that EIIA(Glc) activates transcription of the genes required for Vibrio cholerae biofilm formation. While EIIA(Glc) modula...
