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 کاملRole of two novel two-component regulatory systems in development and phosphatase expression in Myxococcus xanthus.
We have cloned a two-component regulatory system (phoR2-phoP2) of Myxococcus xanthus while searching for genes that encode proteins with phosphatase activity, where phoR2 encodes the histidine kinase and phoP2 encodes the response regulator. A second system, phoR3-phoP3, was identified and isolated by using phoP2 as a probe. These two systems are quite similar, sharing identities along the full...
متن کاملStereochemical Trajectories of a Two-Component Regulatory System PmrA/B in a Colistin-Resistant Acinetobacter baumannii Clinical Isolate
Background: There is limited information on the 3D prediction and modeling of the colistin resistance-associated proteins PmrA/B TCS in Acinetobacter baumannii. We aimed to evaluate the stereochemical structure and domain characterization of PmrA/B in an A. baumannii isolate resistant to high-level colistin, using bioinformatics tools. Methods: The species of the isolate and its susceptibility ...
متن کاملDeletion of two-component regulatory systems increases the virulence of Mycobacterium tuberculosis.
Two-component regulatory signal transduction systems are widely distributed among bacteria and enable the organisms to make coordinated changes in gene expression in response to a variety of environmental stimuli. The genome sequence of Mycobacterium tuberculosis contains 11 complete two-component systems, four isolated homologous regulators, and three isolated homologous sensors. We have const...
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...
