Design and characterization of peptide-responsive biosensors
Gram-positive bacteria use secreted peptides and peptide-responsive transcription factors for quorum sensing. Here, we demonstrate that intracellular expression of these peptide effectors with their cognate transcription factors leads to regulation of gene expression in both in vitro and in vivo systems. Because both effector and regulatory parts can be readily expressed, complex circuits,…
