Abstract:
During the Caulobacter life cycle, the timing of DNA replication, cell division and development is precisely coordinated. Recent work has begun to unravel the complex regulatory networks that couple these processes. A key aspect of these regulatory networks is the dynamic localization of multiple histidine protein kinases that control a master response regulator, thus driving downstream pathways.
