Mechanism of Signal Transduction By The Staphylococcus Aureus Quorum Sensing Receptor AGRC
… peptide (AIP) pheromone activates the AgrC receptor histidine kinase, resulting in downstream modulation of virulence factor expression. As S. aureus is a dangerous pathogen, understanding virulence regulation is of great interest, and the agr system has been extensively studied. …

Studies on the Maturation of Secreted Quorum Sensing Peptides That Regulates S. Aureus Virulence
… (AIPs) and detection of their concentration via AgrC, a transmembrane receptor histidine kinase, coordinates local bacterial population density with global changes in gene expression. In order for S. aureus to produce AIP, three proteolytic transformations involving the proteins AgrB and SpsB are …
