Transporters as information processors in bacterial signalling pathways

Abstract: Summary Transporters are essential players in bacterial growth and survival, since they are key for uptake of nutrients on the one hand, and for defence against endogenous and environmental stresses on the other hand. Remarkably, in addition to their primary role in substrate translocation, it has become clear that some transporters have acquired a secondary function as sensors and information processors in signalling pathways. In this review, we describe recent advances in our understanding of the role of tra… Show more

“…The coupling of transporter activity with stimulus perception by a TCS is commonly mediated via complex formation between the transporter and the HK (Piepenbreier et al ., ). To test whether UrtAP interacts with UzcRS, a co‐immunoprecipitation (Co‐IP) assay was performed in a strain containing C‐terminal HA‐tagged UrtP (UrtP‐HA) and N‐terminal 3× FLAG‐tagged UzcS expressed from their respective chromosomal loci.…”

“…While many HK that employ co‐sensing strategies (e.g. PhoBR and BceAB (Piepenbreier et al ., )) lack prototypical periplasmic sensing domains (i.e. are intramembrane sensing HKs (Mascher et al ., )) relying instead on the accessory regulator for signal perception, UzcS contains a predicted ~124 AA periplasmic domain where signal perception likely occurs (Fig.…”
