Quorum sensing is a mechanism of chem. communication among bacteria that enables collective behaviors. In V. cholerae, the etiol. agent of the disease cholera, quorum sensing controls group behaviors including virulence factor production and biofilm formation. The major V. cholerae quorum-sensing system consists of the extracellular signal mol. called CAI-1 and its cognate membrane bound receptor called CqsS. Here, the ligand binding activity of CqsS is probed with structural analogs of the natural signal. Enabled by the discovery of a structurally simplified analog of CAI-1, a focused library was prepared and analyzed. The mols. were designed to probe the effects of conformational and structural changes along the length of the fatty acid tail of CAI-1. The results, combined with pharmacophore modeling, suggest a mol. basis for signal mol. recognition and receptor fidelity with respect to the fatty acid tail portion of CAI-1. These efforts provide novel probes to enhance discovery of anti-virulence agents for the treatment of V. cholerae.
