A new class of protein sensor links spirochete pleomorphism, persistence, and chemotaxis

2022-01-11

Abstract excerpt

Pathogenic spirochetes can alter their morphologies and behaviors to infect and survive within their hosts. Previous reports demonstrate that the formation of so-called ‘round bodies’ and biofilms, and chemotaxis are involved in spirochete pathogenesis. Here, in the spirochete Treponema denticola , we report a direct link between these cellular states that involves a new class of protein sensor (CheWS) with hithe...
