Bacterial Quorum-Sensing Network Architectures (2009, neutral): “Extracellular AIP is detected by the AgrC histidine kinase receptor and signal transduction occurs by phosphorelay to the AgrA response regulator (87).”
Evolution of hypervirulence by a MRSA clone through acquisition of a transposable element (2014, background): “Molecular Microbiology (2014) 93(4), 664–681 ■ doi:10.1111/mmi.12682 First published online 16 July 2014 © 2014 John Wiley & Sons Ltd of this regulatory scheme is the staphylococcal quorumsensing system known as accessory gene regulator (Agr) (Novick and Geisinger, 2008).”
Regulatory RNAs in Bacteria (2009, background): “Given that the longest of these RNAs, RNAIII of Staphylococcus aureus, is still only 514 nucleotides (reviewed in Novick and Geisinger, 2008), the RNAs are commonly referred to as small RNAs.”
Coagulase-Negative Staphylococci (2014, background): “The components of the agr QS system and their features and functions have been described previously in great detail (376, 379).”
A genome-wide survey of sRNAs in the symbiotic nitrogen-fixing alpha-proteobacterium Sinorhizobium meliloti (2010, background): “This is in good agreement with results from several other studies that deduced a typical size range of sRNAs of 50 to 300 nt [2,56].”
Staphylococcus aureus leukocidin ED contributes to systemic infection by targeting neutrophils and promoting bacterial growth in vivo (2011, background): “RNAIII is a regulatory RNA molecule, expressed upon Agr activation, which influences translation of target mRNAs (Novick et al., 1993; Novick and Geisinger, 2008).”
Bacterial quorum sensing: its role in virulence and possibilities for its control. (2012, background): “Processes controlled by QS include bioluminescence, sporulation, competence, antibiotic production, biofilm formation, and virulence factor secretion (reviewed in Novick and Geisinger 2008; Ng and Bassler 2009; Williams and Camara 2009).”
The Bicomponent Pore-Forming Leucocidins of Staphylococcus aureus (2014, background): “The Agr system (composed of 4 genes, agrBCDA) is a quorum-sensing system that becomes activated upon reaching a high bacterial density (292).”
