Disease relevance of attM

Agrobacterium tumefaciens C58 communicates using N-acyl-homoserine lactones (acyl-HSL) and contains two lactonase-encoding genes, attM and aiiB, the products of which are capable of inactivating the acyl-HSL signal [1].

High impact information on attM

First, we located attJ, which codes for an IclR-type suppressor that regulates the second gene attM [2].
