Description
c-di-GMP Repressed DNA Binding Protein (Clp)
Quorum sensing and bacterial cell signalling are mechanisms known to be utilised by bacteria to regulate their virulence. The RpfC-RpfG sensory system has been found to activate the production of virulence factors like extracellular enzymes and polysaccharides in Xanthomonas campestris. It has been also suggested that this system is involved in linking environmental stimuli, including DSF, with pathogenicity in Xanthomonas campestris. DSF is a cis-unsaturated fatty acid from the DSF family. The RpfC-RpfG two-component system is the most well understood one and is present in all Xanthomonads.
