Abstract

We combined mRNA display technology with lipid-nanodisc based selections and identified high-affinity ligands targeting the integral membrane sensor domain of the histidine kinase AgrC as potent inhibitors ofStaphylococcus aureusquorum sensing-modulated virulence. Our study highlights the potential of this integrated approach for identifying functional modulators of integral membrane proteins.
