Biological function

B. cereus cause acute diarrheal disease by the production and secretion of a variety of hemolysins, phospholipases, and toxins. The production of virulence factors is controlled by the PlcR-PapR QS system. PlcR is the receptor for the mature PapR signal peptide. The PlcR protein has two domains. The helix-turn-helix domain is involved in the DNA binding activity. The TPR domain is involved in signal peptide binding. Inside the cell, PapR binds to the transcription factor PlcR, and this causes conformational changes in the DNA-binding domain of PlcR, facilitates PlcR oligomerization, DNA binding, and regulation of transcription.
