Inhibitor Mimetic Mutations in the Pseudomonas aeruginosa PqsE Enzyme Reveal a Protein–Protein Interaction with the Quorum-Sensing Receptor RhlR That Is Vital for Virulence Factor Production

[Image: see text] Pseudomonas aeruginosa is an opportunistic human pathogen that causes fatal infections. There exists an urgent need for new antimicrobial agents to combat P. aeruginosa. We conducted a screen for molecules that bind the virulence-controlling protein PqsE and characterized hit compo...
