A structural genomics approach to the study of quorum sensing: crystal structures of three LuxS orthologs.

PubMed Abstract: Quorum sensing is the mechanism by which bacteria control gene expression in response to cell density. Two major quorum-sensing systems have been identified, system 1 and system 2, each with a characteristic signaling molecule (autoinducer-1, or AI-1, in the case of system 1, and AI-2 in system 2). The luxS gene is required for the AI-2 system of quorum sensing. LuxS and AI-2 have been described in both Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacterial species and have been shown to be involved in the expression of virulence genes in several pathogens.
