Domain-swapped LuxR-type quorum sensing receptors reveal divergent ligand-response mechanisms among homologs
Irene M. Stoutland, Susan A. Walker, Helen E. Blackwell
This paper investigates how structural features of LuxR-type receptors determine their ligand-response mechanisms, showing that the ligand-binding domain primarily dictates associative vs. dissociative activity.
