Mapping phosphoproteins in Mycoplasma genitalium and Mycoplasma pneumoniae [PDF]

BMC Microbiology, 2007
Abstract Background Little is known regarding the extent or targets of phosphorylation in mycoplasmas, yet in many other bacterial species phosphorylation is known to play an important role in signaling and regulation of cellular processes. To determine the prevalence of phosphorylation in mycoplasmas, we examined the
