Differential regulation of the phenazine biosynthetic operons by quorum sensing in Pseudomonas aeruginosa PAO1-N (2018)
Journal Article
Higgins, S., Heeb, S., Rampioni, G., Fletcher, M. P., Williams, P., & Cámara, M. (2018). Differential regulation of the phenazine biosynthetic operons by quorum sensing in Pseudomonas aeruginosa PAO1-N. Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 8, Article 252. https://doi.org/10.3389/fcimb.2018.00252

The Pseudomonas aeruginosa quorum sensing (QS) network plays a key role in the adaptation to environmental changes and the control of virulence factor production in this opportunistic human pathogen. Three interlinked QS systems, namely las, rhl, and... Read More about Differential regulation of the phenazine biosynthetic operons by quorum sensing in Pseudomonas aeruginosa PAO1-N.

Functional identification of the prnABCD operon and its regulation in Serratia plymuthica (2018)
Journal Article
Liu, X., Yu, X., Yang, Y., Heeb, S., Gao, S., Chan, K. G., …Gao, K. (in press). Functional identification of the prnABCD operon and its regulation in Serratia plymuthica. Applied Microbiology and Biotechnology, https://doi.org/10.1007/s00253-018-8857-0

The antibiotic pyrrolnitrin (PRN) is a tryptophan-derived secondary metabolite that plays an important role in the biocontrol of plant diseases due to its broad-spectrum of antimicrobial activities. The PRN biosynthetic gene cluster remains to be cha... Read More about Functional identification of the prnABCD operon and its regulation in Serratia plymuthica.

2-Tridecanone impacts surface-associated bacterial behaviours and hinders plant-bacteria interactions (2018)
Journal Article
López-Lara, I. M., Nogales, J., Pech-Canul, A., Calatrava-Morales, N., Bernabéu-Roda, L. M., Durán, P., …Soto, M. J. (2018). 2-Tridecanone impacts surface-associated bacterial behaviours and hinders plant-bacteria interactions. Environmental Microbiology, 20(6), 2049-2065. https://doi.org/10.1111/1462-2920.14083

Surface motility and biofilm formation are behaviours which enable bacteria to infect their hosts and are controlled by different chemical signals. In the plant symbiotic alpha‐proteobacterium Sinorhizobium meliloti, the lack of long‐chain fatty acyl...

In Silico and in Vitro-Guided Identification of Inhibitors of Alkylquinolone-Dependent Quorum Sensing in Pseudomonas aeruginosa (2018)
Journal Article
Soukarieh, F., Vico Oton, E., Dubern, J., Gomes, J., Halliday, N., de Pilar Crespo, M., …Cámara, M. (2018). In Silico and in Vitro-Guided Identification of Inhibitors of Alkylquinolone-Dependent Quorum Sensing in Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Molecules, 23(2), 1-15. https://doi.org/10.3390/molecules23020257

Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a major opportunistic pathogen in cystic fibrosis, wound and nosocomial infections, posing a serious burden to public health, due to its antibiotic resistance. The P. aeruginosa Pseudomonas Quinolone System (pqs) quorum sens...

Genome-wide mapping of the RNA targets of the Pseudomonas aeruginosa riboregulatory protein RsmN (2018)
Journal Article
Romero, M., Silistre, H., Lovelock, L., Wright, V. J., Kok, G., Kar-Wai, H., …Heeb, S. (2018). Genome-wide mapping of the RNA targets of the Pseudomonas aeruginosa riboregulatory protein RsmN. Nucleic Acids Research, 46(13), 6823-6840. https://doi.org/10.1093/nar/gky324

Pseudomonads typically carry multiple non-identical alleles of the post-transcriptional regulator rsmA. In P. aeruginosa, RsmN is notable in that its structural rearrangement confers distinct and overlapping functions with RsmA. However, little is k...
