PqsE Is Essential for RhlR-Dependent Quorum Sensing Regulation in Pseudomonas aeruginosa
Abstract
Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a versatile bacterium found in various environments. It can cause severe infections in immunocompromised patients and naturally resists many antibiotics. The World Health Organization listed it among the top priority pathogens for research and development of new antimicrobial compounds. Quorum sensing (QS) is a cell-cell communication mechanism, which is important for P. aeruginosa adaptation and pathogenesis. Here, we validate the central role of the PqsE protein in QS particularly by its impact on the regulator RhlR. This study challenges the traditional dogmas of QS regulation in P. aeruginosa and ties loose ends in our understanding of the traditional QS circuit by confirming RhlR to be the main QS regulator in P. aeruginosa . PqsE could represent an ideal target for the development of new control methods against the virulence of P. aeruginosa . This is especially important when considering that LasR-defective mutants frequently arise, e.g., in chronic infections.

In the citing paper
“Structural and functional studies show that PqsE enhances RhlR-dependent transcription. This activity can reduce the need for the native Rhl autoinducer and preserve RhlR-driven behavior [64,65,66].”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
