Two-component systems are widely used by bacteria to mediate adaptive responses to a variety of environmental stimuli. The CusR/CusS two-component system in Escherichia coli induces expression of genes involved in metal efflux under conditions of elevated Cu(I) and Ag(I) concentrations. As seen in most prototypical two-component systems, signal recognition and transmission is expected to occur by ligand binding in the periplasmic sensor domain of the histidine kinase CusS. Although discussed in ...[more]
