The Sensory Histidine Kinases TorS and EvgS Tend to Form Clusters in Escherichia coli Cells
Microorganisms use multiple two-component sensory systems to detect changes in their environment and elicit physiological responses. Despite their wide spread and importance, the intracellular organization of two-component sensory proteins in bacteria remains little investigated. A notable exception is the well-studied clustering of the chemoreceptor-kinase complexes that mediate chemotaxis beh...
متن کاملPolar accumulation of the metabolic sensory histidine kinases DcuS and CitA in Escherichia coli.
Signal transduction in prokaryotes is frequently accomplished by two-component regulatory systems in which a histidine protein kinase is the sensory component. Many of these sensory kinases control metabolic processes that do not show an obvious requirement for inhomogeneous distribution within bacterial cells. Here, the sensory kinases DcuS and CitA, two histidine kinases of Escherichia coli, ...
متن کاملStructural and Functional Analysis of the Escherichia coli Acid-Sensing Histidine Kinase EvgS
The EvgS/EvgA two-component system of Escherichia coli is activated in response to low pH and alkali metals and regulates many genes, including those for the glutamate-dependent acid resistance system and a number of efflux pumps. EvgS, the sensor kinase, is one of five unconventional histidine kinases (HKs) in E. coli and has a large periplasmic domain and a cytoplasmic PAS domain in addition ...
متن کاملEnteropathogenic Escherichia coli use redundant tyrosine kinases to form actin pedestals.
Enteropathogenic Escherichia coli (EPEC) are deadly contaminants in water and food and induce protrusion of actin-rich membrane pedestals beneath themselves upon attachment to intestinal epithelia. EPEC then causes intestinal inflammation, diarrhea, and, among children, death. Here, we show that EPEC uses multiple tyrosine kinases for formation of pedestals, each of which is sufficient but not ...
متن کاملGenetic analysis of the histidine operon in Escherichia coli K12.
I N Salmonella typhimurium a cluster of nine genes, behaving as a single operon (AMES and GARRY 1959) specify the enzymes which carry out the ten reactions involved in the biosynthesis of histidine; one of the nine enzymes is bifunctional (LOPER, GRABNAR, STAHL, HARTMAN and HARTMAN 1964). The histidine operon is contained in a linear segment of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) estimated by AMES, GOL...
