Two-component signal transduction systems in oral bacteria
We present an overview of how members of the oral microbiota respond to their environment by regulating gene expression through two-component signal transduction systems (TCSs) to support conditions compatible with homeostasis in oral biofilms or drive the equilibrium toward dysbiosis in response to environmental changes. Using studies on the sub-gingival Gram-negative anaerobe Porphyromonas gi...
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 کاملTwo-Component Signal Transduction Systems of Pathogenic Bacteria As Targets for Antimicrobial Therapy: An Overview
The bacterial communities in a wide range of environmental niches sense and respond to numerous external stimuli for their survival. Primarily, a source they require to follow up this communication is the two-component signal transduction system (TCS), which typically comprises a sensor Histidine kinase for receiving external input signals and a response regulator that conveys a proper change i...
متن کاملEvolution and phyletic distribution of two-component signal transduction systems.
Two-component signal transduction systems are abundant in prokaryotes. They enable cells to adjust multiple cellular functions in response to changing environmental conditions. These systems are also found, although in much smaller numbers, in lower eukaryotes and plants, where they appear to control a few very specific functions. Two-component systems have evolved in Bacteria from much simpler...
متن کاملComplexity in ‘2-component’ signal transduction systems
The prototypical (Class I) sensory histidine kinase is comprised of a ligand binding domain coupled to an autokinase domain (Figure 1A). Ligand binding causes activation of the catalytic autokinase domain which hydrolyses ATP and autophosphorylates a conserved histidine residue located in a sub-domain of the histidine kinase. Transfer of this high energy phosphoryl group to a conserved aspartat...
