Regulation of quorum sensing by RpoS in Pseudomonas aeruginosa.
The LasR-LasI and RhlR-RhlI quorum-sensing systems are global regulators of gene expression in the opportunistic pathogen Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Previous studies suggest that the RhlR-RhlI system activates expression of rpoS. We constructed merodiploid strains of P. aeruginosa containing the native rpoS gene and an rpoS-lacZ fusion. Studies of lacZ transcription in these strains indicated that...
متن کاملNegative regulation of quorum-sensing systems in Pseudomonas aeruginosa by ATP-dependent Lon protease.
Lon protease, a member of the ATP-dependent protease family, regulates numerous cellular systems by degrading specific substrates. Here, we demonstrate that Lon is involved in the regulation of quorum-sensing (QS) signaling systems in Pseudomonas aeruginosa, an opportunistic human pathogen. The organism has two acyl-homoserine lactone (HSL)-mediated QS systems, LasR/LasI and RhlR/RhlI. Many rep...
متن کاملThe RhlR quorum-sensing receptor controls Pseudomonas aeruginosa pathogenesis and biofilm development independently of its canonical homoserine lactone autoinducer
Quorum sensing (QS) is a bacterial cell-to-cell communication process that relies on the production, release, and response to extracellular signaling molecules called autoinducers. QS controls virulence and biofilm formation in the human pathogen Pseudomonas aeruginosa. P. aeruginosa possesses two canonical LuxI/R-type QS systems, LasI/R and RhlI/R, which produce and detect 3OC12-homoserine lac...
متن کاملQscR, a modulator of quorum-sensing signal synthesis and virulence in Pseudomonas aeruginosa.
The opportunistic pathogenic bacterium Pseudomonas aeruginosa uses quorum-sensing signaling systems as global regulators of virulence genes. There are two quorum-sensing signal receptor and signal generator pairs, LasR-LasI and RhlR-RhlI. The recently completed P. aeruginosa genome-sequencing project revealed a gene coding for a homolog of the signal receptors, LasR and RhlR. Here we describe a...

The Journal of Clinical Investigation | November 2003 | Volume 112 | Number 10 Quorum sensing in Pseudomonas aeruginosa Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a Gram-negative organism that is commonly found in soil and water. Although P. aeruginosa can survive under multiple harsh conditions, it is an opportunistic pathogen and is only able to infect hosts with defective immune system function, such as that...
