Cryo‐EM structures of pentameric autoinducer‐2 exporter from Escherichia coli reveal its transport mechanism

Bacteria utilize small extracellular molecules to communicate in order to collectively coordinate their behaviors in response to the population density. Autoinducer‐2 (AI‐2), a universal molecule for both intra‐ and inter‐species communication, is involved in the regulation of biofilm formation, vir...
