Two-component systems (TCSs) represent the predominant signal transduction mechanism by which bacteria sense and respond to environmental stimuli. At their core, a membrane-bound sensor histidine ...

Bacterial sensors usually rely on emitting light to transfer information about what they're sensing, but that method isn't practical in many settings. That's why most information transmission is done ...

A team has uncovered how a common bacterial pathogen uses a single protein to quietly undermine the human immune system, by both shutting down key warning signals and blocking the cell’s ability to ...
