Biotic and abiotic surfaces in marine waters are rapidly colonized by microorganisms.
Surface colonization and subsequent biofilm formation and development provide numerous …

Two-component systems reprogramme diverse aspects of microbial physiology in response
to environmental cues. Canonical systems are composed of a transmembrane sensor …

Obesity is associated with low-grade chronic inflammation and intestinal dysbiosis.
Ganoderma lucidum is a medicinal mushroom used in traditional Chinese medicine with …

To exist in a wide range of environmental niches, bacteria must sense and respond to a
variety of external signals. A primary means by which this occurs is through two-component …

Research on how bacteria adapt to changing environments underlies the contemporary
biological understanding of signal transduction (ST), and ST provides the foundation of the …

Success in nature depends upon an ability to perceive and adapt to the surrounding
environment. Bacteria are not an exception; they recognize and constantly adjust to …

The immunological process of clonal selection requires a rapid burst in lymphocyte
proliferation, and this involves a metabolic shift to provide energy and the building blocks of …

Per-Arnt-Sim (PAS) domains occur in proteins from all kingdoms of life. In the bacterial
kingdom, PAS domains are commonly positioned at the amino terminus of signaling proteins …

Perceiving environmental and internal information and reacting in adaptive ways are
essential attributes of living organisms. Two-component systems are relevant protein …

Two-component signaling pathways involve histidine kinases, response regulators, and
sometimes histidine-containing phosphotransfer proteins. Prevalent in prokaryotes, these …
