Cyclic-di-GMP binds to histidine kinase RavS to control RavS-RavR phosphotransfer and regulates the bacterial lifestyle transition between virulence and swimming.

The two-component signalling system (TCS) comprising a histidine kinase (HK) and a response regulator (RR) is the predominant bacterial sense-and-response machinery. Because bacterial cells usually encode a number of TCSs to adapt to various ecological niches, the specificity of a TCS is in the cent...
