Bacterial Sensing and Signaling (Contributions to Microbiology)
Bacterial Sensing and Signaling (Contributions to Microbiology) Summary:By Mattias, Ph.D. Collin, Raymond, Ph.D. Schuch
respond accordingly has emerged as a focal point in the field of microbiology. Not surprisingly, the bacterial adaptive response is now described by a panoply of interesting mechanisms, signals, behaviors, etc., involving everything from the movement of flagella to the formation social groupings. Bacterial Sensing and Signaling, a volume of the Karger book series Contributions to Microbiology, was initiated with the hope of introducing the results of state-of-the-art research from internationally recognized experts. Chemical communication is undoubtedly the best-studied mechanism for passing information between bacterial organisms and coordinating their behavior. As such, Duan et al. begin the first section of this book with an introduction to the distinct array of chemical signals that shape bacterial community relationships. Michael Federle then follows with a description of his work on one such signal, termed autoinducer- 2, with a focus on its role in cell-cell communication (or quorum sensing) among different bacterial species and the mechanism by which such a signal is transduced across the bacterial membrane. In keeping with the theme of signal transduction, Rao and Ordal next present a comprehensive review of the molecular mechanisms by which individual bacteria sense environmental attractants and repellents and transduce this information to the flagellar motor to evoke a locomotive response (chemotaxis). Chemotaxis is the most thoroughly understood bacterial adaptive behavior, and its description serves to introduce the roles of bacterial two-component and phosphotransferase systems (PTSs) systems in signal transmission and the processes of receptor multimerization and methylation that allow response adaptation. The importance of PTSs in the coupling of sensory and regulatory mechanisms is further pursued by Lengeler and Jahreis, who describe both the rapid chemotactic responses to carbohydrates and the delayed responses associated with catabolite repression, as well as the concepts adaptation, memory, and learning associated with these signaling systems.
