Multi-Factor Regulation of the Master Modulator LeuO for the Cyclic-(Phe-Pro) Signaling Pathway in Vibrio vulnificus
Abstract LeuO plays the role of a master regulator in the cyclic-L-phenylalanine-L-proline (cFP)-dependent signaling pathway in Vibrio vulnificus. cFP, as shown through isothermal titration calorimetry analysis, binds specifically to the periplasmic domain of ToxR. Binding of cFP triggers a change i...
