Abstract in brief

  • Pectobacterium atrosepticum uses three different chemoreceptors (PacA, PacB, PacC) to detect a wide variety of amino acids, including both proteinogenic and nonproteinogenic types.
  • PacB recognizes 18 amino acids with a preference for branched-chain amino acids like leucine, valine, and isoleucine, while PacA detects L-proline and quaternary amines, and PacC mainly detects aspartate despite its similarity to the E. coli receptor Tsr.
  • The study highlights that bacteria employ multiple chemoreceptors to effectively sense the diverse range of amino acids in their environment, showing complex strategies for nutrient detection and signal transduction.

Three unrelated #chemoreceptors, including a Tsr ortholog that binds aspartate, provide Pectobacterium atrosepticum with a broad-spectrum amino acid sensing capability. Another great collaboration with @zhulinlab, @miguel_matilla, @BlastMeetings, https://t.co/f1kMtGxm0w https://t.co/zZjYiEbkmH
