Abstract excerpt
The Caulobacter cell cycle is regulated by a network of two-component signal transduction proteins. Phosphorylation and stability of the master transcriptional regulator CtrA are controlled by the CckA-ChpT phosphorelay, and CckA activity is modulated by another response regulator, DivK. In a screen to identify suppressors of the cold-sensitive divK341 mutant, we found point mutations in the essential gene divL....
