Two-component regulatory systems can interact to process multiple environmental signals.
The PhoP/PhoQ two-component system of Salmonella typhimurium governs transcription of some 25 loci in response to the extracellular concentration of Mg2+. We have now identified one of these loci as pmrCAB, which codes for a two-component system that mediates resistance to the antibiotic polymyxin B. Transcription of seven of 25 PhoP-activated loci was dependent on a functional PmrA protein, th...
متن کاملNetwork component analysis: reconstruction of regulatory signals in biological systems.
High-dimensional data sets generated by high-throughput technologies, such as DNA microarray, are often the outputs of complex networked systems driven by hidden regulatory signals. Traditional statistical methods for computing low-dimensional or hidden representations of these data sets, such as principal component analysis and independent component analysis, ignore the underlying network stru...
متن کاملSignal 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 کاملTwo-component regulatory systems responsive to environmental stimuli share strongly conserved domains with the nitrogen assimilation regulatory genes ntrB and ntrC.
We report that the ntrB and ntrC proteins of Bradyrhizobium sp. [Parasponia] strain RP501 share homology with other regulatory proteins. There is extensive conservation of C-terminal regions between products of RP501 ntrB; Klebsiella pneumoniae ntrB; Escherichia coli envZ, cpxA, and phoR; Agrobacterium tumefaciens virA; and, to a lesser extent, E. coli cheA. There is also extensive conservation...
متن کاملThe Streptococcus mutans Cid and Lrg systems modulate virulence traits in response to multiple environmental signals
The tight control of autolysis by Streptococcus mutans is critical for proper virulence gene expression and biofilm formation. A pair of dicistronic operons, SMU.575/574 (lrgAB) and SMU.1701/1700 (designated cidAB), encode putative membrane proteins that share structural features with the bacteriophage-encoded holin family of proteins, which modulate host cell lysis during lytic infection. Anal...
