Abstract excerpt
The phosphorelay of Bacillus subtilis, a kinase cascade that activates master regulator Spo0A ~ P in response to starvation signals, is the core of a large network controlling the cell's decision to differentiate into sporulation and other phenotypes. This article reviews recent advances in understanding the origins and purposes of the complex dynamical behavior of the phosphorelay, which pulses with peaks of...
