Amino Acid Residues in LuxR Critical for its Mechanism of Transcriptional Activation during Quorum Sensing

<I>Vibrio fischeri</I>, a symbiotic bioluminescent bacterium, serves as one of the best understood model systems for a mechanism of cell-density dependent bacterial gene regulation known as quorum sensing. During quorum sensing in <I>V. fischeri</I>, an acylated homoserine ch...
