2. 1. VanT, a central regulator of quorum sensing signalling in Vibrio anguillarum

   Author : Antony Croxatto; Debra Milton; Edward G Ruby; Umeå universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Vibriosis; Vibrio anguillarum; quorum sensing; two-component phosphorelay systems; Molecular biology; Molekylärbiologi;

   Abstract : Many bacteria produce signal molecules that serve in a cell-to-cell communication system termed quorum sensing. This signalling system allows a bacterial population to co-ordinately regulate functions according to their cell number in a defined environment. READ MORE

4. 2. Stress response and virulence in Vibrio anguillarum

   Author : Barbara Weber; Debra L. Milton; James D. Oliver; Umeå universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Vibrio anguillarum; quorum sensing; Type VI secretion; stress response; virulence; skin colonization; Molecular biology; Molekylärbiologi; molekylärbiologi; Molecular Biology;

   Abstract : Bacteria use quorum sensing, a cell to cell signaling mechanism mediated by small molecules that are produced by specific signal molecule synthases, to regulate gene expression in response to population density. In Vibrio anguillarum, the quorum-sensing phosphorelay channels information from three hybrid sensor kinases VanN, VanQ, CqsS that sense signal molecules produced by the synthases VanM, VanS and CqsA, onto the phosphotransferase VanU, to regulate activity of the response regulator VanO.
