Systematic dissection and trajectory-scanning mutagenesis of the molecular interface that ensures specificity of two-component signaling pathways. [PDF]
PLoS Genetics, 2010 Two-component signal transduction systems enable bacteria to sense and respond to a wide range of environmental stimuli. Sensor histidine kinases transmit signals to their cognate response regulators via phosphorylation.

Gut Microbes, 2023 In many Vibrio species, virulence is regulated by quorum sensing, which is regulated by a complex, multichannel, two-component phosphorelay circuit. Through this circuit, sensor kinases transmit sensory information to the phosphotransferase LuxU via a ...

Functional reconstitution of the Salmonella typhimurium PhoQ histidine kinase sensor in proteoliposomes [PDF]
Biochemical Journal, 2005 Two-component signal-transduction systems are widespread in bacteria. They are usually composed of a transmembrane histidine kinase sensor and a cytoplasmic response regulator. The PhoP/PhoQ two-component system of Salmonella typhimurium contributes to virulence by co-ordinating the adaptation to low concentrations of environmental Mg2+.

RdsA Is a Global Regulator That Controls Cell Shape and Division in Rhizobium etli
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2022 Unlike other bacteria, cell growth in rhizobiales is unipolar and asymmetric. The regulation of cell division, and its coordination with metabolic processes is an active field of research.

Stress Sensors and Signal Transducers in Cyanobacteria
Sensors, 2010 In living cells, the perception of environmental stress and the subsequent transduction of stress signals are primary events in the acclimation to changes in the environment.

Fatty acid DSF binds and allosterically activates histidine kinase RpfC of phytopathogenic bacterium Xanthomonas campestris pv. campestris to regulate quorum-sensing and virulence. [PDF]
PLoS Pathogens, 2017 As well as their importance to nutrition, fatty acids (FA) represent a unique group of quorum sensing chemicals that modulate the behavior of bacterial population in virulence. However, the way in which full-length, membrane-bound receptors biochemically

Structural and Enzymatic Insights into the ATP Binding and Autophosphorylation Mechanism of a Sensor Histidine Kinase [PDF]
Journal of Biological Chemistry, 2010 DesK is a sensor histidine kinase (HK) that allows Bacillus subtilis to respond to cold shock, triggering the adaptation of membrane fluidity via transcriptional control of a fatty acid desaturase. It belongs to the HK family HPK7, which includes the nitrogen metabolism regulators NarX/Q and the antibiotic sensor LiaS among other important sensor ...
