This Review covers quorum‐sensing systems controlled by a pyrazine‐type autoinducer, 3,5‐dimethyl‐pyrazin‐2‐ol (DPO). The systems we cover span the human pathogen Vibrio cholerae , where DPO regulates pathogenicity and biofilm formation, and phage VP882, where DPO controls lytic development and viral dissemination. In both cases, detection of DPO occurs via a dedicated receptor‐transcription factor called VqmA. In V. cholerae , DPO activates the production of the VqmR regulatory RNA, and in the phage, DPO triggers production of the small protein Qtip. We present our current understanding of DPO biosynthesis, ongoing efforts to resolve the mechanisms underlying DPO‐mediated signal transduction, and a forward‐facing perspective on the role of DPO in human health and undiscovered pyrazine‐based signals in biology, more broadly. 4950 https://doi.org/10.1002/ijch.202200063$xR$3Volltext$534 4950 https://nbn-resolving.org/urn:nbn:de:gbv:27-dbt-20230712-040233-000$xR$3Volltext$534 4961 https://www.db-thueringen.de/receive/dbt_mods_00057885 5051 540 5550 DPO 5550 Quorum sensing 5550 Vibrio cholerae 5550 VP882 5550 VqmA
