Transcriptional Regulatory Systems in Pseudomonas: A Comparative Analysis of Helix-Turn-Helix Domains and Two-Component Signal Transduction Networks.

ABSTRACT: Bacterial communities in diverse environmental niches respond to various external stimuli for survival. A primary means of communication between bacterial cells involves one-component (OC) and two-component signal transduction systems (TCSs). These systems are key for sensing environmental changes and regulating bacterial physiology. TCSs, which are the more complex of the two, consist of a sensor histidine kinase for receiving an external input and a response regulator to convey changes in bacterial cell physiology. For numerous reasons, TCSs have emerged as significant targets for antibacterial drug design due to their role in regulating expression level, bacterial viability, growth, and virulence. Diverse studies have shown the molecular mechanisms by which TCSs regulate virulence and a
