The bacterial phosphoenolpyruvate (PEP): carbohydrate phosphotransferase system (PTS)
carries out both catalytic and regulatory functions. It catalyzes the transport and …

We present a comprehensive overview of the hierarchical network of intracellular processes
revolving around central nitrogen metabolism in Escherichia coli. The hierarchy intertwines …

Bacterial pathogens exhibit significant variation in their genomic content of virulence factors.
This reflects the abundance of strategies pathogens evolved to infect host organisms by …

The phosphoenolpyruvate: sugar phosphotransferase system (PTS) is a carbohydrate
transport and phosphorylation system present in bacteria of all different phyla and in …

Bacteria of the genus Salmonella express nanosyringe-like organelles called type three
secretion systems (T3SSs). These systems promote the secretion of bacterial compounds …

Phosphorus is required for many biological molecules and essential functions, including
DNA replication, transcription of RNA, protein translation, posttranslational modifications …

Significance: The reactivity of the thiol in the side chain of cysteines is exploited by bacterial
regulatory proteins that sense and respond to reactive oxygen and nitrogen species. Recent …

Summary Autoinducer‐2 (AI‐2) a signal produced by a range of phylogenetically distant
microorganisms, enables inter‐species cell–cell communication and regulates many …

Bacterial cell-to-cell communication, termed quorum sensing (QS), controls bacterial
behavior by using various signal molecules. Despite the fact that the LuxS/autoinducer-2 (AI …

Two branches of the phosphoenolpyruvate-phosphotransferase system (PTS) operate in the
soil bacterium Pseudomonas putida KT2440. One branch encompasses a complete set of …
