An intracellular phosphorus-starvation signal activates the PhoB/PhoR two-component system in Salmonella enterica

R. E. Bruna, C. G. Kendra, M. H. Pontes

This study identifies an intracellular phosphorus-starvation signal that activates the PhoB/PhoR two-component system in Salmonella enterica, revealing PhoB-independent genes and the cellular compartment where the signal is sensed.

Limitation of phosphate assimilation maintains cytoplasmic magnesium homeostasis

R. E. Bruna, C. G. Kendra, E. A. Groisman, M. H. Pontes

The paper shows that excessive phosphate uptake in Salmonella enterica disrupts magnesium homeostasis by promoting ATP synthesis, leading to growth inhibition and cell death.

Conjugal DNA transfer in the maternally inherited symbiont of tsetse flies Sodalis glossinidius

C. G. Kendra, C. M. Keller, R. E. Bruna, M. H. Pontes

This paper demonstrates that Sodalis glossinidius can be genetically modified via conjugation, enabling forward and reverse genetic experiments to advance paratransgenesis strategies in tsetse flies.
