HssS activation by membrane heme defines a paradigm for 2-component system signaling in <i>Staphylococcus aureus</i>
2022-11-07
Abstract excerpt
Strict management of intracellular heme pools, which are both toxic and beneficial, can be crucial for bacterial survival during infection. The human pathogen Staphylococcus aureus uses a two-component heme sensing system (HssRS), which counteracts environmental heme toxicity by triggering expression of the efflux transporter HrtBA. The HssS heme sensor is a HisKA-type histidine kinase, characterized as a membran...
