The ChvG-ChvI and NtrY-NtrX Two-Component Systems Coordinately Regulate Growth of Caulobacter crescentus
B. Stein, Aretha Fiebig, Sean Crosson
Abstract
TCSs enable bacteria to regulate gene expression in response to physiochemical changes in their environment. The ChvGI and NtrYX TCSs regulate diverse pathways associated with pathogenesis, growth, and cell envelope function in many α-proteobacteria.
