Ligand sensing and signal trasnduction by the two-component system PhoP/PhoQ

The Citrobacter rodentium genome sequence contains a phoPQ operonhomologous (~79% identity) to that of S. typhimurium. We report that C. rodentiumPhoQ senses fluctuations in Mg2+ concentrations and acidic pH. Surprisingly, PhoQwas not activated by the presence of AMPs. However, activation by AMPs is...
