Abstract excerpt
Essential two-component systems are now being identified in bacteria. The Bacillus subtilis yycF gene encoding a response regulator, and its orthologue in Staphylococcus aureus, were reported recently to be essential for cell growth, although genes under their control have yet to be identified. The essential nature of the yycF regulator gene and its cognate kinase gene, yycG, in B. subtilis was also noted during...
