Structure and mechanism of the essential two-component signal-transduction system WalKR in Staphylococcus aureus
The WalKR signal transduction system is involved in extracellular signal recognition, but the details of this function are not well established. Here, the authors report the crystal structure of this two-component system alongside the characterisation of a small-molecule activator.
