THE RCS PHOSPHORELAY: A Complex Signal Transduction System
Abstract
RcsC, RcsB, and RcsA were first identified as a sensor kinase, a response regulator, and an auxiliary regulatory protein, respectively, regulating the genes of capsular polysaccharide synthesis. Recent advances have demonstrated that these proteins are part of a complex phosphorelay, in which phosphate travels from the histidine kinase domain in RcsC to a response regulator domain in the same protein; from there to a phosphotransfer protein, RcsD; and from there to RcsB. In addition to capsule synthesis, which requires the unstable regulatory protein RcsA, RcsB also stimulates transcription of a small RNA, RprA; the cell division gene ftsZ; and genes encoding membrane and periplasmic proteins, including the osmotically inducible genes osmB and osmC. The Rcs system appears to play an important role in the later stages of biofilm development; induction of Rcs signaling by surfaces is consistent with this role.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
