Abstract excerpt
The Escherichia coli BglF protein is a sugar-sensor that controls the activity of the transcriptional antiterminator BglG by reversibly phosphorylating it, depending on beta-glucoside availability. BglF is a membrane-bound protein, whereas BglG is a soluble protein, and they are both present in the cell in minute amounts. How do BglF and BglG find each other to initiate signal transduction efficiently? Using...
