Genetic evidence for a periplasmic protein as a component for a subset of NtrYX two-component systems

Alexa R. Wolber, Liliana S. McKay, Richard M. Johnson…·Peggy A. Cotter

The paper identifies PlrP as an essential third component of the PlrSR two-component system in Bordetella species, showing it inhibits PlrS phosphatase activity and is required for in vivo survival.

DNA duplication-mediated activation of a two-component regulatory system serves as a bet-hedging strategy for Burkholderia thailandensis

Lillian C Lowrey, Katlyn B. Mote, Peggy A. Cotter

This study shows that Burkholderia thailandensis uses DNA duplication via insertion sequences to activate a two-component system, enabling a bet-hedging strategy for biofilm formation under changing environmental conditions.

Cytochrome oxidase requirements in Bordetella reveal insights into evolution towards life in the mammalian respiratory tract

Liliana S. McKay, Alexa R. Spandrio, Richard M. Johnson…·Peggy A. Cotter

This study investigates the role of cytochrome oxidases in Bordetella species, finding that three specific oxidases are sufficient for respiratory infection in mice.
