Open AccessLeveraging the histidine kinase-phosphatase duality to sculpt two-component signaling
Bacteria must constantly probe their environment for rapid adaptation, a crucial need most frequently served by two-component systems (TCS). As one component, sensor histidine kinases (SHK) control the phospho...

Multimodal Control of Bacterial Gene Expression by Red and Blue Light
By applying sensory photoreceptors, optogenetics realizes the light-dependent control of cellular events and state. Given reversibility, noninvasiveness, and exquisite spatiotemporal precision, optogenetic app...

Open AccessComparative analysis of two paradigm bacteriophytochromes reveals opposite functionalities in two-component signaling
Bacterial phytochrome photoreceptors usually belong to two-component signaling systems which transmit environmental stimuli to a response regulator through a histidine kinase domain. Phytochromes switch betwee...
