Abstract:A suite of molecular sensory systems enablesCaulobacterto control growth, development, and reproduction in response to levels of essential elements. The enhancer binding protein NtrC and its cognate sensor histidine kinase NtrB are well-established regulators of nitrogen assimilation in bacteria, but their precise functions inCaulobactermetabolism and cell development remain largely undefined. Deletion ofC. crescentus ntrCslowed cell growth in complex medium, whilentrBandntrCwere essential for growth when ammo… Show more
