Autoinducers Act as Biological Timers in Vibrio harveyi
Quorum sensing regulates cell density-dependent phenotypes and involves the synthesis, excretion and detection of so-called autoinducers. Vibrio harveyi strain ATCC BAA-1116 (recently reclassified as Vibrio campbellii), one of the best-characterized model organisms for the study of quorum sensing, produces and responds to three autoinducers. HAI-1, AI-2 and CAI-1 are recognized by different rec...
متن کاملRNA granules act as egg timers
Determining the replication factor y settings S aner et al. describe how neighboring DNA regions stochas-tically assemble into replica-tion factories in budding yeast. A replicon is a stretch of DNA duplicated from a single replication origin. In eukaryotes, multiple replicons assemble into sub-nuclear structures called replication factories, where the replicons are duplicated by DNA polymerase...
متن کاملHeterogeneity in quorum sensing-regulated bioluminescence of Vibrio harveyi.
Quorum sensing (QS) refers to the ability of bacterial populations to read out the local environment for cell density and to collectively activate gene expression. Vibrio harveyi, one of the best characterized model organisms in QS, was used to address the question how single cells behave within a QS-activated community in a homogeneous environment. Analysis of the QS-regulated bioluminescence ...

متن کاملQuorum sensing regulates the osmotic stress response in Vibrio harveyi.
Bacteria use a chemical communication process called quorum sensing to monitor cell density and to alter behavior in response to fluctuations in population numbers. Previous studies with Vibrio harveyi have shown that LuxR, the master quorum-sensing regulator, activates and represses >600 genes. These include six genes that encode homologs of the Escherichia coli Bet and ProU systems for synthe...
