Research on how bacteria adapt to changing environments underlies the contemporary
biological understanding of signal transduction (ST), and ST provides the foundation of the …

The bacterial phosphoenolpyruvate (PEP): carbohydrate phosphotransferase system (PTS)
carries out both catalytic and regulatory functions. It catalyzes the transport and …

The reversible phosphorylation of proteins is accomplished by opposing activities of kinases
and phosphatases. Relatively few protein serine/threonine phosphatases (PSPs) control the …

Biofilm formation is a social behaviour that generates favourable conditions for sustained
survival in the natural environment. For the Gram‐positive bacterium B acillus subtilis the …

Genomic studies have revealed the presence of Ser/Thr kinases and phosphatases in many
bacterial species, although their physiological roles have largely been unclear. Here we …

The primary purpose of PHOSIDA (http://www. phosida. com) is to manage posttranslational
modification sites of various species ranging from bacteria to human. Since its last report …

During growth and propagation, a bacterial cell enlarges and subsequently divides its
peptidoglycan (PG) sacculus, a continuous mesh‐like layer that encases the cell membrane …

Protein phosphorylation on serine, threonine, and tyrosine (Ser/Thr/Tyr) is generally
considered the major regulatory posttranslational modification in eukaryotic cells. Increasing …

The post-translational modification (PTM) of proteins plays a critical role in the regulation of
a broad range of cellular processes in eukaryotes. Yet their role in governing similar systems …

Abstract PHOSIDA http://www. phosida. com, a phosphorylation site database, integrates
thousands of high-confidence in vivo phosphosites identified by mass spectrometry-based …
