Figure 1. Bacterial cell membrane adaptation via two-component signal transduction systems.

Figure 1

Protection of cell membrane is of paramount importance for bacterial survival. Several mechanism to protect the cell membrane against environmental stressors (including antibiotics) are available. The participation of signal transduction systems (two-component regulatory systems) is one of the most important strategies to mediate the cell membrane adaptive response.
