Using a whole-cell high-throughput screen, eleven molecules were identified that activate V. cholerae quorum sensing (QS). Eight molecules are receptor agonists and three molecules are antagonists of LuxO, the central NtrC-type response regulator that controls the global V. cholerae QS cascade. Pro-QS molecules are used for the development of novel anti-infectives.
使用全细胞高通量筛选,已经鉴定出11种分子可以激活V. cholerae群体感应(QS)。其中8种分子是受体激动剂,另外3种分子则是LuxO的
拮抗剂,LuxO是控制全球V. cholerae QS级联反应的中央NtrC型响应调节器。这些促进QS的分子可用于开发新型抗感染剂。
