Autoinducer-2 enhances the defense of Vibrio furnissii against oxidative stress and DNA damage by modulation of c-di-GMP signaling via a two-component system by Heng Zhang, Wenjin Zhao, Wenguang Yang, Huimin Zhang, Xinyu Qian, Kai Sun, Qiao Yang, Xihui Shen, Lei Zhang

“…Here, we have identified a membrane-bound histidine kinase of the pathogenic bacterium Vibrio furnissii, AsrK, as a receptor that specifically detects AI-2 under low boron conditions. In contrast with another well-known AI-2 receptor LuxP that recognizes the borated form of AI-2, AsrK is found to show higher affinity with AI-2 under borate-depleted conditions, and thus boron has a negative effect on AI-2 sensing by AsrK in regulation of the biofilm and motility phenotypes. …”
