Signal integration in bacterial two-component regulatory systems.
Two-component systems (TCSs) and phosphorelays are key mediators of bacterial signal transduction. The signals activating these systems promote the phosphorylated state of a response regulator, which is generally the form that carries out specific functions such as binding to DNA and catalysis of biochemical reactions. An emerging class of proteins-termed TCS connectors-modulate the output of T...
متن کاملTwo-component systems in plant signal transduction.
In plants, two-component systems play important roles in signal transduction in response to environmental stimuli and growth regulators. Genetic and biochemical analyses indicate that sensory hybrid-type histidine kinases, ETR1 and its homologs, function as ethylene receptors and negative regulators in ethylene signaling. Two other hybrid-type histidine kinases, CKI1 and ATHK1, are implicated i...
متن کاملHysteretic and graded responses in bacterial two-component signal transduction.
Bacterial two-component systems (TCS) are key signal transduction networks regulating global responses to environmental change. Environmental signals may modulate the phosphorylation state of sensor kinases (SK). The phosphorylated SK transfers the phosphate to its cognate response regulator (RR), which causes physiological response to the signal. Frequently, the SK is bifunctional and, when un...
متن کاملA connector of two-component regulatory systems promotes signal amplification and persistence of expression.
Organisms rely on a variety of regulatory architectures to control gene transcription. Whereas the functional characteristics of particular architectures are well understood, the properties of newly discovered regulatory designs cannot be easily predicted. One emerging design depends on small proteins that connect two-component regulatory systems, which constitute the dominant form of bacterial...
متن کاملAdaptable Functionality of Transcriptional Feedback in Bacterial Two-Component Systems
A widespread mechanism of bacterial signaling occurs through two-component systems, comprised of a sensor histidine kinase (SHK) and a transcriptional response regulator (RR). The SHK activates RR by phosphorylation. The most common two-component system structure involves expression from a single operon, the transcription of which is activated by its own phosphorylated RR. The role of this feed...
