Abstract excerpt
The PhoPR two-component system activates or represses Pho regulon genes to overcome a phosphate deficiency. The Pho signal transduction network is comprised of three two-component systems, PhoPR, ResDE, and Spo0A. Activated PhoP is required for expression of ResDE from the resA promoter, while ResD is essential for 80% of Pho induction, establishing a positive feedback loop between these two-component systems to...
