The BarA-UvrY two-component system regulates virulence in avian pathogenic Escherichia coli O78:K80:H9.
The BarA-UvrY two-component system (TCS) in Escherichia coli is known to regulate a number of phenotypic traits. Both in vitro and in vivo assays, including the chicken embryo lethality assay, showed that this TCS regulates virulence in avian pathogenic E. coli (APEC) serotype O78:K80:H9. A number of virulence determinants, such as the abilities to adhere, invade, persist within tissues, surviv...
متن کاملBarA-UvrY Two-Component System Regulates Virulence of Uropathogenic E. coli CFT073
Uropathogenic Escherichia coli (UPEC), a member of extraintestinal pathogenic E. coli, cause ∼80% of community-acquired urinary tract infections (UTI) in humans. UPEC initiates its colonization in epithelial cells lining the urinary tract with a complicated life cycle, replicating and persisting in intracellular and extracellular niches. Consequently, UPEC causes cystitis and more severe form o...
متن کاملpH-dependent activation of the BarA-UvrY two-component system in Escherichia coli.
The barA and uvrY genes of Escherichia coli encode a two-component sensor kinase and a response regulator, respectively. Although this system plays a major role in the regulation of central carbon metabolism, motility, and biofilm formation by controlling the expression of the CsrB and CsrC noncoding RNAs, the environmental conditions and the physiological signal(s) to which it responds remain ...
متن کاملThe Escherichia coli BarA-UvrY two-component system is needed for efficient switching between glycolytic and gluconeogenic carbon sources.
The Escherichia coli BarA and UvrY proteins were recently demonstrated to constitute a novel two-component system, although its function has remained largely elusive. Here we show that mutations in the sensor kinase gene, barA, or the response regulator gene, uvrY, in uropathogenic E. coli drastically affect survival in long-term competition cultures. Using media with gluconeogenic carbon sourc...
متن کاملAnalysis of the BarA/UvrY Two-Component System in Shewanella oneidensis MR-1
The BarA/UvrY two-component system is well conserved in species of the γ-proteobacteria and regulates numerous processes predominantly by controlling the expression of a subset of noncoding small RNAs. In this study, we identified and characterized the BarA/UvrY two-component system in the gammaproteobacterium Shewanella oneidensis MR-1. Functional interaction of sensor kinase BarA and the cogn...
