The signal transduction system of microorganisms helps them adapt to changes in their
complex living environment. Two-component system (TCS) is a representative signal …

Posttranslational modifications (PTMs) play crucial roles in regulating protein function and
thereby control many cellular processes and biological phenotypes in both eukaryotes and …

While beneficial plant-microbe interactions are common in nature, direct evidence for the
evolution of bacterial mutualism is scarce. Here we use experimental evolution to causally …

Two-component systems (TCSs) consist of the biggest group of signal transduction
pathways in biology. Although TCSs play key roles in sensing signals to sustain survival and …

Phaseolotoxin is an antimetabolite toxin produced by diverse pathovars of Pseudomonas
syringae which affects various plants, causing diseases of economic importance …

Productive plant–bacteria interactions, either beneficial or pathogenic, require that bacteria
successfully sense, integrate and respond to continuously changing environmental and …

Pseudomonas syringae, a Gram-negative plant pathogen, expresses multitudinous
transcriptional regulators to control the type III secretion system (T3SS) and response to …

Although RNA structures play important roles in regulating gene expression, the mechanism
and function of mRNA folding in plant bacterial pathogens remain elusive. Therefore, we …

Pseudomonas syringae are Gram-negative, plant pathogenic bacteria that use a type III
secretion system (T3SS) to disarm host immune responses and promote bacterial growth …

GacS/GacA is a widely distributed two-component system playing an essential role as a key
global regulator, although its characterization in phytopathogenic bacteria has been deeply …
