Plants make use of two-component systems for signal transduction, and these are involved in vital cellular processes such as the responses to cytokinins, ethylene, red/far-red light, and osmosensing (Schaller et al., 2002). Two-component systems were originally identified in bacteria, and in their simplest form involve a His kinase and a response regulator that participate in a phosphorelay (Mizuno, 1997). Of particular relevance to plants is a permutation on the two-component system known as...

However, both plants and bacteria face a similar problem: They are confined to
Control of streptokinase gene expression in group A & C streptococci by two-component regulators
Indian Journal of Medical Research ; Background & objectives: Group A streptococci (GAS) and human isolates of group C streptococci (GCS) have the stable capacity to produce the plasminogen activator streptokinase, albeit with varying efficiency. This property is subject to control by two two-component regulatory systems, FasCAX

Cytokinins. New insights into a classic phytohormone
Plant Physiology ; Update on Cytokinins Cytokinins were discovered in the search for factors that promoted division of plant cells in culture. Naturally occurring cytokinins are N^sup 6^-substituted adenine derivatives that generally contain an isoprenoid derivative side chain. These hormones influence numerous
Multiple Type-B Response Regulators Mediate Cytokinin Signal Transduction in Arabidopsis(W)
Plant Cell ; Type-B Arabidopsis thaliana response regulators (ARRs) are transcription factors that function in the final step of two-component signaling systems. To characterize their role in plant growth and development, we isolated T-DNA insertions within six of the genes (ARR1, ARR2, ARR10, ARR11, ARR12, and
