Role of region 4 of the sigma 70 subunit of RNA polymerase in transcriptional activation of the lux operon during quorum sensing
The mechanism of gene regulation used by Gram-negative bacteria during quorum sensing is well understood in the bioluminescent marine bacterium Vibrio fischeri. The cell-density dependent activation of the luminescence (lux) genes of V. fischeri relies on the formation of a complex between the auto...
