Pheromone Recognition and Selectivity by ComR Proteins among Streptococcus Species. by Erin Shanker, Donald A Morrison, Antoine Talagas, Sylvie Nessler, Michael J Federle, Gerd Prehna

“…For the Gram-positive bacteria genus Streptococcus, genes required for competence are under the regulation of quorum sensing (QS) mediated by peptide pheromones. One such system, ComRS, consists of a peptide (ComS) that is processed (XIP), secreted, and later imported into the cytoplasm, where it binds and activates the transcription factor ComR. …”

A complex set of sex pheromones identified in the cuttlefish Sepia officinalis. by Jérémy Enault, Céline Zatylny-Gaudin, Benoît Bernay, Benjamin Lefranc, Jérôme Leprince, Michèle Baudy-Floc'h, Joël Henry

“…Using transcriptomic and peptidomic approaches, we aim to identify peptide sex pheromones that are thought to induce the aggregation of mature cuttlefish in their egg-laying areas.To facilitate the identification of sex pheromones, 576 5'-expressed sequence tags (ESTs) were sequenced from a single cDNA library generated from accessory sex glands of female cuttlefish. …”
