A two-component regulatory system mediates quorum sensing-dependent morphology and motility transitions in the archaeon Haloferax volcanii
QarABC is identified as a DFS-responsive regulatory module and represent the first TCS in archaea shown to control QS-dependent behavior, and Transcriptomic analyses revealed that qarA deletion leads to upregulation of genes involved in motility and rod-shape formation.
