Abstract
Quorum sensing (QS) is a cell density-dependent signaling system that is used by bacteria to coordinate gene expression within their population. In this study, the authors describe the development and characterization of various cell-based bioassay systems for detecting QS inhibitors based on three LuxR family proteins, TraR, LasR, and the recently identified QscR. Three different gram-negative bacteria, Escherichia coli, Agrobacterium tumefaciens, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa, were employed as reporter strains to overproduce one of the aforementioned QS activator proteins and respond to inhibitors. The nine different whole-cell assay systems (three reporter strains x three QS proteins) were evaluated for their applicability and reliability by studying quantitative responses to various furanones, which are potent inhibitors of the LuxR family proteins. These results demonstrate that the cell-based bioassay systems are sensitive and reliable tools for screening of QS activators and inhibitors. This study also suggests that furanones are potentially important QS inhibitors for many LuxR-type activator proteins. (Journal of Biomolecular Screening. 2011;16:986-994
