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

Mannose transporters constitute a superfamily (Man-PTS) of the Phosphoenolpyruvate
Carbohydrate Phosphotransferase System (PTS). The membrane complexes are …

Mechanisms of DNA repair and mutagenesis are defined on the basis of relatively few
proteins acting on DNA, yet the identities and functions of all proteins required are unknown …

Pseudomonas aeruginosa is capable of injecting protein toxins into other bacterial cells
through one of its three type VI secretion systems (T6SSs). The activity of this T6SS is tightly …

The RpoS transcription factor of B orrelia burgdorferi is a 'gatekeeper'because it activates
genes required for spirochaetes to transition from tick to vertebrate hosts. However, it …

To successfully colonize and persist within a host niche, bacteria must properly regulate
their gene expression profiles. The marine bacterium Vibrio fischeri establishes a mutualistic …

B. subtilis grows more rapidly using the amino sugar glucosamine as carbon source, than
with N-acetylglucosamine. Genes for the transport and metabolism of N-acetylglucosamine …

The bacterial phosphoenolpyruvate (PEP): sugar phosphotransferase system (PTS)
mediates the uptake and phosphorylation of carbohydrates, and is involved in signal …

Pathogenic microorganisms like Vibrio cholerae are capable of adapting to diverse living
conditions, especially when they transit from their environmental reservoirs to human host …

Robust control over gene translation at arbitrary mRNA targets is an outstanding challenge
in microbial synthetic biology. The development of tools that can regulate translation will …
