CodY regulates the activity of the virulence quorum sensor PlcR by controlling the import of the signaling peptide PapR in Bacillus thuringiensis
In Gram-positive bacteria, cell-cell communication mainly relies on cytoplasmic sensors of the RNPP family. Activity of these regulators depends on their binding to secreted signaling peptides that are imported into the cell. These quorum sensing regulators control important biological functions in...
