Low affinity DNA-binding promotes cooperative activation of natural transformation in Vibrio cholerae

Allison C. Hullinger, Virginia E. Callahan, Triana N. Dalia, Ankur B. Dalia

This study shows that low DNA-binding affinity of TfoS promotes its dependence on ChiS for activating PtfoR, which is necessary for optimal Vibrio cholerae fitness on chitin.

Two transmembrane transcriptional regulators coordinate to activate chitin-induced natural transformation in Vibrio cholerae

Allison C. Hullinger, Virginia E. Green, Catherine A. Klancher, Triana N. Dalia, Ankur B. Dalia

This paper shows that ChiS and TfoS, two transmembrane transcriptional regulators in V. cholerae, work together to activate natural transformation in response to chitin by recruiting the PtfoR promoter to the membrane and facilitating TfoS interaction.
