Description
luxS is controlled by pluxR promoter. luxS is a kind of DPD synthetase, which could produce DPD (4,5-dihydroxy 2,3-pentanedione) under the cooperation of Pfs enzyme. DPD exists widely in Gram-negative bacteria and Gram-positive bacteria as the signaling factor for quorum sensing, in order to complete the information transfer process within different kinds of bacteria.
Notes
You need to make sure the strain has the seven genes of Lsr operon, including gene LsrACDB coding ABC transporter and gene LsrFJE relating to AI-2 processing.
