The transcription factor FleQ from Pseudomonas aeruginosa derepresses expression of
genes involved in biofilm formation when intracellular levels of the second messenger cyclic …

Abstract Bis-(3′–5′)-cyclic dimeric guanosine monophosphate (c-di-GMP) modulates the
transition between planktonic and biofilm life styles. In response to c-di-GMP, the enhancer …

The intracellular signal molecule cyclic di-GMP (c-di-GMP) is an important element in
regulation of biofilm formation by bacteria. In Pseudomonas aeruginosa, FleQ functions as a …

Bacterial biofilm formation during chronic infections confers increased fitness, antibiotic
tolerance, and cytotoxicity. In many pathogens, the transition from a planktonic lifestyle to …

The transcription factor FleQ is a bacterial AAA+ ATPase enhancer-binding protein that is
the master activator of flagella gene expression in the opportunistic bacterial pathogen …

Most bacteria alternate between a free living planktonic lifestyle and the formation of
structured surface-associated communities named biofilms. The transition between these …

AdnA is a transcription factor in Pseudomonas fluorescens that affects flagellar synthesis,
biofilm formation, and sand adhesion. To identify the AdnA regulon, we used a promoterless …

Bacteria form biofilm as a response to a number of environmental signals that are mediated
by global transcription regulators and alarmones. Here we report the involvement of the …

Previous work has demonstrated that fleR, the gene for a transcriptional activator belonging
to the NtrC subfamily of response regulators, is involved in the regulation of mucin adhesion …

FleQ is an AAA+ ATPase enhancer-binding protein that regulates both flagella and biofilm
formation in the opportunistic pathogen Pseudomonas aeruginosa. FleQ belongs to the NtrC …
