    Transmembrane Prolines Mediate Signal Sensing and Decoding in Bacillus subtilis DesK Histidine Kinase

    Signal sensing and transduction is an essential biological process for cell adaptation and survival. Histidine kinases (HK) are the sensory proteins of two-component systems that control many bacterial responses to different stimuli, like environmental changes. Here, we focused on the HK DesK from Bacillus subtilis, a paradigmatic example of a transmembrane...

    The Immune Protein Calprotectin Impacts Clostridioides difficile Metabolism through Zinc Limitation

    Clostridioides difficile infection (CDI) is the leading cause of postantibiotic nosocomial infection. Antibiotic therapy can be successful, yet up to one-third of individuals suffer from recurrent infections. Understanding the mechanisms controlling C. difficile colonization is paramount in...
