Deskripsi

Bacterial histidine kinases (HKs) play key roles in the response to stimuli and are regulated by reversible phosphorylation. Here, the authors show that the activity of a HK in the plant pathogen Xanthomonas campestris is modulated by irreversible, proteolytic modification in response to osmostress.
