The Characterization of Two-Component System PmrA/PmrB in Cronobacter sakazakii.

abstract：:Many bacteria produce cytolytic toxins that target host cells or other competing microbes. It is well known that environmental factors control toxin expression, however, recent work suggests that some bacteria manipulate the fold of these protein toxins to control their function. The β-sheet rich amyloid fold is a hig...
