Acetylcholine is a central biological signal molecule present in all kingdoms of life. In
humans, acetylcholine is the primary neurotransmitter of the peripheral nervous system; it …

The chemotaxis network, one of the most prominent prokaryotic sensory systems, is present
in most motile bacteria and archaea. Although the conserved signaling core of this network …

Histamine is a key biological signaling molecule. It acts as a neurotransmitter in the central
and peripheral nervous systems and coordinates local inflammatory responses by …

Motile bacteria use chemotaxis to migrate towards environments that are favorable for
growth and survival. The signaling pathway that mediates this behavior is largely conserved …

Bacteria have evolved a variety of signal transduction mechanisms that generate different
outputs in response to external stimuli. Chemosensory pathways are widespread in bacteria …

Chemotaxis toward organic acids has been associated with colonization fitness and
virulence and the opportunistic pathogen Pseudomonas aeruginosa exhibits taxis toward …

Bacterial chemotaxis is a motility-based response that biases cell movement toward
beneficial molecules, called attractants, and away from harmful molecules, also known as …

Bacteria use chemotaxis signaling pathways to sense environmental changes. Escherichia
coli chemotaxis system represents an ideal model that illustrates fundamental principles of …

Chemoreceptors in bacteria detect a variety of signals and feed this information into
chemosensory pathways that represent a major mode of signal transduction. The five …

In contrast to Escherichia coli, a model organism for chemotaxis that has 5 chemoreceptors
and a single chemosensory pathway, Pseudomonas aeruginosa PAO1 has a much more …
