A photosensory two-component system regulates bacterial cell attachment.
Flavin-binding LOV domains are blue-light photosensory modules that are conserved in a number of developmental and circadian regulatory proteins in plants, algae, and fungi. LOV domains are also present in bacterial genomes, and are commonly located at the amino termini of sensor histidine kinases. Genes predicted to encode LOV-histidine kinases are conserved across a broad range of bacterial t...
متن کاملA Two-Component System Regulates Hemin Acquisition in Porphyromonas gingivalis
Porphyromonas gingivalis is a Gram-negative oral anaerobe associated with infection of the periodontia. The organism has a small number of two-component signal transduction systems, and after comparing genome sequences of strains W83 and ATCC 33277 we discovered that the latter was mutant in histidine kinase (PGN_0752), while the cognate response regulator (PGN_0753) remained intact. Microarray...
متن کاملThe CpxR/CpxA two-component system up-regulates two Tat-dependent peptidoglycan amidases to confer bacterial resistance to antimicrobial peptide.
We demonstrate that the twin arginine translocation (Tat) system contributes to bacterial resistance to cationic antimicrobial peptides (CAMPs). Our results show that a deletion at the tatC gene, which encodes a subunit of the Tat complex, caused Salmonella and Escherichia coli to become susceptible to protamine. We screened chromosomal loci that encode known and predicted Tat-dependent protein...
متن کاملHistamine in two component system-mediated bacterial signaling.
Histamine is a key mediator governing vital cellular processes in mammals beyond its decisive role in inflammation. Recent evidence implies additional actions in both eukaryotes and prokaryotes. Besides its function in host defense against bacterial infections, histamine elicits largely undefined actions in microorganisms that may contribute to bacteria-host interactions. Bacterial proliferatio...
متن کاملOsmosensing by the bacterial PhoQ/PhoP two-component system
The PhoQ/PhoP two-component system plays an essential role in the response of enterobacteria to the environment of their mammalian hosts. It is known to sense several stimuli that are potentially associated with the host, including extracellular magnesium limitation, low pH, and the presence of cationic antimicrobial peptides. Here, we show that the PhoQ/PhoP two-component systems of Escherichi...
