Development of Methods for Structural Characterization of Pantoea stewartii Quorum-Sensing Regulator EsaR

The LuxR family of proteins serves as quorum-sensing transcriptional regulators in proteobacteria. At high population densities, a small acyl-homoserine lactone (AHL) molecule, produced by a LuxI homologue, accumulates in the environment. The LuxR proteins bind to their respective AHL when the ligan...
