rgf encodes a novel two-component signal transduction system of Streptococcus agalactiae.
The adhesion of gram-positive bacteria to extracellular matrix (ECM) proteins is regarded as an important determinant of pathogenicity. A comparison of the adhesion of Streptococcus agalactiae strain O90R to different ECM proteins showed that the most pronounced binding could be observed for immobilized fibrinogen. To investigate the genetic determinants of S. agalactiae fibrinogen binding, a p...
متن کاملTwo-component signal transduction.
Most prokaryotic signal-transduction systems and a few eukaryotic pathways use phosphotransfer schemes involving two conserved components, a histidine protein kinase and a response regulator protein. The histidine protein kinase, which is regulated by environmental stimuli, autophosphorylates at a histidine residue, creating a high-energy phosphoryl group that is subsequently transferred to an ...
متن کاملThe two-component signal transduction system RR06/HK06 regulates expression of cbpA in Streptococcus pneumoniae.
Streptococcus pneumoniae encounters a number of environmental niches in the body, including the nasopharynx, lungs, blood, middle ear, and brain. Recent studies have identified 13 putative two-component signal-transduction systems in S. pneumoniae, which are likely to be important for gene regulation in response to external stimuli. Here, we present conclusive evidence for the regulation of cho...
متن کاملA developmentally regulated two-component signal transduction system in Chlamydia.
Two-component systems allow bacteria to adapt to changing environmental conditions and may induce developmental changes necessary for survival. Chlamydia trachomatis alternates between two distinct developmental forms, each optimized for survival in a separate niche. Transcriptional regulation of development is not understood. The C. trachomatis genome sequence revealed a single pair of genes (...
متن کاملNovel domains of the prokaryotic two-component signal transduction systems.
The archetypal two-component signal transduction systems include a sensor histidine kinase and a response regulator, which consists of a receiver CheY-like domain and a DNA-binding domain. Sequence analysis of the sensor kinases and response regulators encoded in complete bacterial and archaeal genomes revealed complex domain architectures for many of them and allowed the identification of seve...
