LsrA of LuxS/AI-2 signaling pathway in Salmonalla

Quorum sensing is a process of bacterial cell-to-cell communication involving the production and detection of signaling molecules named autoinducers. And autoinducer-2 (AI-2) serves as a 'universal signal' for interspecies communication. In the LuxS/AI-2 signaling system of Salmonella Typhimurium, AI-2 response involves ATP binding cassette transporter encoded by genes named lsr (LuxS regulated). And LsrA is ATP-binding protein that provides energy for AI-2 transport.

Usage and Biology

AI-2 is generated by many species of Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria. In a group of bacteria exemplified by Salmonella, AI-2 response involves lsr genes that encode ATP binding cassette-type transporter. And LsrA is part of the ABC transporter complex, being responsible for energy coupling to the transport system.

Fig1. Schematic overview of the AI-2 response pathway in Salmonella TyphimuriumThe precursor of AI-2, 4,5-Dihydroxy-2,3-Pentanedione (DPD) , is a byproduct generated when LuxS converts S-Ribosylhomocysteine (SRH) to Homocysteine (HCY). DPD then undergoes spontaneously cyclization, forming AI-2, and exports to the culture supernatant. After that, extracellular AI-2 bounds to LsrB, following by passing the membrane channel and importing the cytoplasm. LsrK phosphorylates AI-2 afterwards. The lsr operon is repressed until phosphorylated AI-2 causes LsrR to relieve its repression on the promoter. And this allows further AI-2 import.

In our project, we set this protein-coding part under the regulation of a nisA promoter which can be activated by food-grade inducer, nisin. We linearized the related expression vectors and stably integrated them into the genome of the hosts. And together with other parts, we will construct a membrane channel for AI-2 generated by pathogens in the engineered bacteria.
