Eavesdropping by bacteria: the role of SdiA in Escherichia coli and Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium quorum sensing
Abstract
Many gram-negative bacteria utilize N-acyl-L-homoserine lactones (AHLs) to bind to transcriptional regulators leading to activation or repression of target genes. Escherichia coli and Salmonella enterica do not synthesize AHLs but do contain the AHL receptor, SdiA. Studies reveal that SdiA can bind AHLs produced by other bacterial species and thereby allow E. coli and S. enterica to regulate gene transcription. The Salmonella sdiA gene regulates the rck gene, which mediates Salmonella adhesion and invasion of epithelial cells and the resistance of the organism to complement. In E. coli, there is some evidence that SdiA may regulate genes associated with acid resistance, virulence, motility, biofilm formation, and autoinducer-2 transport and processing. However, there is a lack of information concerning the role of SdiA in regulating growth and survival of E. coli and Salmonella in food environments, and therefore studies in this area are needed.
